| art.description.project | The project forms part of my ongoing investigation around the organization and classification of knowledge trying to examine potential ideological implications of classification schemes in institutional libraries. The series “Library Interventions” at Leeds College of Art attempts to assess the opaque processes of cataloguing in the college library. It reviews library science scholar Emily Drabinski’s claim, that classifications and subject headings are by their very nature “socially produced and embedded structures, that carry the traces of all the intentional and unintentional racism, sexism, and classism of the workers who create them”. In form of of a workshop we developed new, unconventional and user-centred categories for selected books which we borrowed from the “Library of Omissions and Inclusions”, a community run reading room in Gothenburg gathering feminist, de-colonial and intersectional materials.
Together with writer Maria Fusco (Edinburgh College of Art), Wendy Kirk (Glasgow Women Library) Rosa Nussbaum (artist, designer London) and all the participants we creatively exposed the opaque process of standard classification to bring human knowledge together under a single unifying, universalizing structure and language. | sv |
