Imperfect Librarian - Various Artists

The story in history lies not necessarily in the what but in the ways of its telling. With the exhibition, Imperfect Librarian, a group of artistic researchers with the ARC: the visual university and its columbarium focus, University of Cape Town, present a new body of works in progress, developed over the last year. Confronted by the impossibility of faithfully reproducing, arranging and freeze-framing certain facts as they appear, the group enter into “the library” a set of unorthodox practices and materials which challenge the notion of archival practice.
