Abstract: | An evening of readings and performances at Senate House Library, in association with EC1 & WC1 Galleries, London Gallery Day and The Jarman Film Lab. Neil Chapman | Peter Jaeger | Rebecca La Marre | Tamarin Norwood | Holly Pester | Sharon Kivland Withdrawn, intent, deaf and blind to the world, readers commune in silence. They scan and internalise, mouths made defunct in the passage of knowledge, and yet it was not always thus. Silence is the law of the library, even in a place of such theatrical potential as the Goldsmiths’ Reading Room. In the wings though, in the private monastic spaces of its study carrels, where a reader’s lips can flutter away in a whisper, unheard, loud voices might muster. On the 26th of April, that potential will be realised, as five invited readers will make themselves heard in the silence of the public space. Emerging one by one from the privacy of their cells they will proclaim the meaning that their hearts have searched out. Convened by Sami Jalili and Sharon Kivland The event included a small publication and subsequently, a short film was produced. |
