The Anti Library – Re-Makers of Simple Furniture

Documentation of The Anti Library at SPACE, London 2011.

Oliver Smith and I collaborated to create a display environment to house The Anti-Library, an exhibition initiated by Paul Pieroni in the Library at SPACE. Relating to Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s text The Black Swan (in which he states ‘read books are far less valuable than unread ones’) The Anti-Library explores ideas of anti-knowledge and un-learning; inviting 150 contributors to present a single unread book from their own collection alongside a short text.

Re-makers of Simple Furniture focuses on personal book collections, the domain of domestic (dis)order and the legacy of homely British Modernism. This display scenario references a modular unit made in 1932 by Gerald Summers and his wife, Marjorie Butcher. Through repetition and quotation, this installation subverts the unit’s dialectic and modular function whilst acknowledgng its ramifications within popular, mass-produced furntiure design.

WOW! The Anti-Library!
