The Private Collection
An audio-map of the British Library, St Pancras. The British Library is not as it appears. Discover the library's shadowy side on this special audio tour of The Private Collection. What hides behind the shelves… Open your eyes to what other people can't see. This is the library as no one else knows it.
To arrange your private visit
email theprivatecollection@gmail.com
or phone Sara on 07800 736525

Please note: The Private Collection audio tour takes about 30 minutes and is conducted one visitor at a time. A British Library reader's pass is necessary (the tour is possible without one, but you'll miss an important part of the experience). If you don't have a pass, advice can be offered on how to acquire one.

here:

here is a minimal map – ‘a setting down of first coordinates' designed to make people question their own situatedness in space. here is also an imaginary map, never reducible to ‘one thing' but constantly changing despite its minimal nature. The map consists of an edition of red, round stickers, with the word ‘here' imprinted on them. By excluding the words ‘you are', the word ‘here' is turned into a shifter, which changes meaning according to where it is placed: on the forgotten sites within a city (calling attention to the overlooked), in the back of a drawer or behind a wardrobe (to be found again years later), on other maps (parasitical mapping), in one's pocket or on one's own body (the point from which one relates to other points in space)…The idea is to collectively create a map without spatial and temporal borders.

Edition of 1000 stickers – Rikke Hansen
