Description
This artistic gesture uses a burned library loan card to throw into question institutional systems of knowledge control. Instead of inviting visitors to the Jagger Library Memorial Exhibition to do a visual examination of the curated remains of the textual record, this curation deploys two curatorial tactics. Using medium crossing and critical fabulation, it presents a sonic interview with a catalogue card rescued from Jagger Library.

A sonic interview conducted by PRYDEB001 with BR 966.4003 FORA, 01/11/2021
