BOOK WORKS ANNOUNCES – YOU MUST LOCATE A FANTASY

A new Library Residency in collaboration with Chetham’s Library, Manchester

You Must Locate A Fantasy is Book Works’ ongoing Library Residencies Programme, presenting a series of residencies and commissions for artists to work with libraries, special collections and archives located in the UK.

For this open call we are inviting artists to propose a project that engages creatively and critically with Chetham’s Library, and to produce new work including an artist’s publication after an initial period of research/residency.

Chetham’s Library has something very special to offer in terms of its resources, that will provide a starting point for an artist to research and produce something political, poetic, unexpected, ephemeral etc., that can draw out the unique qualities of the library collection and the artist’s own interests.

The deadline for submissions is 1 November 2017 – please see our website for more details on how to apply https://www.bookworks.org.uk/node/1924
