SI 19 - G A R D E N L E E S Z A A L

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.
