SI 19 - Garden Leeszaal

https://issue.xpub.nl/19/index.html

The SI19 How do we library that? or alternatively Garden Leeszaal was crucial in diving into the structure of libraries as systems of producing knowledge and unpacking classification as a process that (un)names, distinguishes, excludes, displaces, organizes life. It was fruitful for me in order to start understanding the notion of infra-structure. Libraries as complex social infrastructures. From the library to the section to the shelf to the book to the page to the text. The zooming in and zooming out process. The library as a plain text.

During the collective moment in Leeszaal was really moving seeing people literally diving into recycle bins, grab books, tear pages apart, drawing, pen plotting, weaving words together, cutting words, removing words, overwriting, printing, scanning. A whole book made by all of us in the evening. Having them creating the object. Stations, machines, a cloud of cards. A sleeve that warms up THE BOOK.

SI21 - TTY

https://issue.xpub.nl/21/index.html

During SI21 TTY we messed around and worked with dusty machines like teletype and typewriters. These machines used to be instruments of administrative workforce and a expressing tool for concrete poetry and literature. This emerging workforce, in a large scale made up of women and minorities who were until then excluded from most qualified jobs, used typewriters and administration aesthetics to express themselves, re-organize and underline structural inequalities. This was an inspirational moment within XPUB for starting developing bureaucratic forms as interface of potential personal stories and discourse.
