There
are spaces being left behind. There are things in front of us but being
invisible. There are places existing there but do not exist. The project Places that don’t exist is commissioned
by curator Oona Doyle for the exhibition Corner,
questioning the definition of existence and visibility in our society.
In the
project, I will be curating a library in the exhibition space, including books
about places that do not exist, which could be interpreted in various
directions: such as airports, detention rooms, international waters, border…etc.,
places that don’t belong to any nation, or countries that being there but
without recognition, such as Taiwan, Kosovo, Somaliland, Palestine…etc., or
spaces physically existing in a gray zone, such as passage, corner,
hallways…etc.
If you
are a book artist, who has printed books related to the topic, wishing to
broaden the audience, or by chance that you have couple books related to the
theme, or even, you know some books about the subject, and willing to
participate, please contact me on ting@chengtingting.com. I would love to rent the books either from
you or from libraries or bookshops available.
And in
order to thank you for your participation, you are warmly invited to the
opening of the exhibition in Hackney, enjoying free drinks at the party.
