Kakšen je odnos umetniških knjižnic do kuriranja in neodvisnega založništva, kot so na primer zinovske kulture?

»Knjižnica« je generator metodologije in praktičnih študijskih primerov soodvisne založniške prakse Nine Prader. V luči prepovedi knjig in pogosto toksičnih digitalnih svetov ostajajo analogni prostori, namenjeni branju in razpravljanju na nepotrošniški osnovi, vitalen humanistični vir. Projekt Lady Liberty Library raziskuje neodvisno založništvo kot umetniško obliko skozi prizmo knjižnice kot dogodka. Knjižnica in razstavni prostor Lady Liberty je fizična in konceptualna manifestacija ključnih začetnih idej in različnih projektov, ki so končno našli fizično obliko. Povezuje leta neodvisnih umetniških raziskav, kuriranja in objavljanja o neodvisnih tiskanih materialih.

Dogodek bo potekal v angleščini.
Vstop prost.

*Knjižnica je dogodek – vstopite v bralni ring!

What is the relationship of artist libraries to curating and independent publishing cultures such as zine cultures?

“The Library” has been a methodology and applied case study generator for Prader’s interdependent publishing practices. In light of book bans and often toxic digital worlds, analog spaces for reading and discussing in non-consumerist ways remain a vital humanist resource. The Lady Liberty Library project explores independent publishing as an art form through the lens of the library as an event. Lady Liberty Library & Showroom is the physical and conceptual manifestation of some initial key ideas from various projects finally finding physical form. It connects years of independent artistic research, curating, and publishing on independent printed matters.

The event will be held in English.
Free entry.
