Art 011: Final
Project
4/16/13
I am interested in pursuing an extended version of my
situational library. Using all the knowledge that I’ve developed, and the feedback
I received concluding the previous situational library project, I want to
create multiple libraries. I’m thinking of maybe creating 3 situational
libraries total, and placing them in the community as a permanent installation
just like the first one. Each one will have a variety of books, not focused on
one topic; I want to provide different genres to cater to different types of
audiences. Over time as I observed my last project located at the Rockridge Bart,
I noticed that people would leave books that were not related to the subject I
had intended it to be for. I then realized that the subject I chose for the
library only allowed a limited amount of people to engage with it. I would love to get access to children’s
books and adult books. I will be seeking support from the Re-Use Depot, Mills
College Library, and hopefully reach out to public libraries to see if they
would be interested in collaborating.
The location that I will most likely be working in is the
ceramic studio, because I would need to have access to power tools. The three
places that I am leaving my library at are different Bart stations. These sites
would be the ones nearest to Mills, such as MacArthur Bart, Berkeley Bart, and
Lake Merit Bart. My hope is that my
project would be beneficial for both me and the community.
