Books from the North around the world
Bibiotek Nordica is part of 'My Library was Dukedom Large Enough' in the Glasrummet at Konstepidemin, Göteborg as part of GIBCA extended program and curated by Carine Fihn. Exhibition Opening: Saturday 2. november
The exhibition is open until 24. November 2019 Opening times: Tue-Thu 12-17, Fri-Sun 12-16 Konstepidemin, Konstepidemins väg 6, 413 14 Göteborg, Sweden ”Every library is its own universum. Truths, lies, fantasies, dreams, proof and disproof exist on quiet shelves. All according to definite systems. The letters of the alphabet get a meaning through chapters, headings, and paragraphs. In that way human thinking, experience and knowledge throughout history have been made available for the future. An artists’ book borrows the idea and the form of a book but is not literature in its usual form but an alternative space, a unique work, a container for the artist’s ideas and thoughts. The artist creates a personal universe, with its own truths, lies and sometimes its own library. It can contain everything or nothing at all. The intention is created in the eye of the beholder.” – Carina Fihn www.konstepidemin.se/kalender/gibca-extended-my-library-was-dukedom-large-enough/

This library is definitely amazing. It is probably one of the top end ones. I want to build a library in my house as well, but it is just not possible. There is no way that I can work on one, but that is because our house is way too small. I want a library to keep all of my books, and in the future, help my children learn more about them. I hope that they can manage it somehow.
