CarriageWorks Arts Centre
Sydney, NSW |
development of Book
Case, Notes on the Art and Manner
of (Dis)arranging One's Books was commissioned
by Performance
Space for LiveWorks.
The work involved a live office / reading room
installed in a disused space of the CarriageWorks
Arts Centre foyer. A converted traveller’s
trunk contained a selection of our own books (literature,
poetry, memoirs, reference books, art criticism),
from which we drew passages of relevance to the
site and the immediate environment. Inhabiting
the space for three days, we progressively ‘released’
these excerpts into the surrounding space by sending
morse code signals, typing onto blank paperback
pages sutured together to form an extended spool,
and handwriting directly upon the concrete structure
of the building.
