Lecture date: 2012-05-04
Programmed by Charles Arsène-Henry and Shumon Basar
What if a library was to function like a novel or a film? The Library is on Fire will occupy the New Soft Room with a programme of texts, images and sounds: an experimental form of reading room. Material from the collection will be available for reference during the course of the day. Â
6.00 Presentation by Shumon Basar: The Library’s ways of acquiring and organising its collection will be described, using institutional precedents that appear in films such as Toute la mémoire du Monde and Wings of Desire, as well as other vessels of space/time volume.
The Library is on Fire, conceived by Charles Arsène-Henry, is the second hemisphere of the future LUMA Foundation library.
