We are developing the space into a public-facing library, where “library” remains as an open question. We begin by questioning the spatial infrastructure itself, approaching it as a site of intervention into what a library can be. Through performative and collective methods, we work with (and against) the symbolic authority of the modern library as a knowledge-bestowing institution, asking visitors to participate in an unfolding performance of library bureaucracy. We are interested in how informal and playful performative gestures can redistribute authorship and unsettle fixed hierarchies of knowing.
