A Time Library changes location
A Time Library was part of SLOW: Relations and Practices, a residency exhibition at Centre A, Vancouver, between May 15 and June 19, 2010.
In response to a desire to slow down time, A Time Library is a prototype that brings together a limited number of books about time. During the residency, readings were conducted at the library, and recorded using a pen/camera/audio device.
You can access the audio and visual recordings under the category Readings from the library. Collaborators include Hadley + Maxwell, Elizabeth MacKenzie, Margot Leigh Butler, Liz Park, Makiko Hara, Marian Penner Bancroft, Jin-Me Yoon. The readings are 8 – 10 minutes each, and you will need to turn up your speakers. The readings take a moment to load, and once underway, you can use your cursor (displayed as a red dot) to jump ahead if you get impatient, or backwards in time, if you’ve missed something.
No book is timeless, and the collection of A Time Library is limitless.
As it develops, new titles will be added and new readings posted here.
From May 1, 2010:
The inaugural recording for A Time Library
