BRANCH LIBRARIES

Hackney Branch
SPACE, London
September 3 - October 16, 2010
Organized in conjunction with Paul Pieroni

Hackney Branch consisted of 40 books acquired from London secondhand bookstores and charity shops. It included a group exhibition that featured work by Nina Beier, David Horvitz, Ruth Beale, Hans Diernberger, Richard John Jones, Raphael Hefti and Damien Roach. The artworks were all generated in response to one volume from the library's collection: Inkblot Perception and Personality: Holtzman Inkblot Technique. A photocopier was provided for visitor use.
