As the space literally was layered with history, I decided to photograph my residency. I hung some photos on the walls and mounted others on small, wooden blocks, placing them on a shelf that I found when moving in.

Brother, Can You Spare a Stack presents thirteen art projects that re-imagine the library as a force for social change. Each project constructs a micro library of sorts that serves specific economic or social needs within the community.

A Hard Read, the Personal Library - a collaboration between artists Anna Lise Jensen and Michael Wilson - explores literacies, social space and social anxiety. Private shelves are combined with a selection of literature on literacy and social practice, books borrowed from a public library and renewed online - and the making of an artist book, ed. 10.

The selection is a result of their methodology, that includes: reflections on personal experience, active listening and elements of Gregory Bateson’s Metalogues. The resulting library is a dialogue between personal history, hybrid expression and collective learning.
