The Glasgow School of Art Library has a wonderful website, called The Hatchery, where staff document the artists and artworks that have been inspired by physical and digital library resources. Once a month we’ll repost a Hatchery Highlight from the GSA website. Special thanks to Duncan Chappell at the GSA Library for working with us on this series! ~Laura
Immortal Silence at GSA Library
In 2011 Justyna Ataman created a series of sound works based in GSA Library as part of a public art project for 2nd Year Environmental Art. The works recorded the ambient noise of the Library at 4 pre-defined locations: the bottom of the main stairs, the DVD collection, shelfmark Fiction/KUN and shelfmark 750.92/DAL.
The recordings were then added to Library collections as a CD, where they could be listened to by readers. Justyna also staged the event Make the Silence Speak in the Library, in which library users were encouraged to read aloud a sentence from whatever they were reading at a predetermined specific moment.
