Municipal Libraries
7 February - 26 April
Within the framework of Left to your own devices exhibition, the Girona Municipal Libraries provide space for Icelandic artist Elín Hansdóttir's Book Space installation.
The Book Space project consists of placing a series of blank books in public libraries around the world. The books can be lent out to library users for the space of a week, to be filled with a content of their choice (text, images, drawings, collage, etc.), and will then be sent to libraries in other countries, thus creating a live file, a sort of collective work in progress.
The results will be brought before the public to coincide with the Sant Jordi (St George's Day) celebrations. There will be readings and the presentation of the books, some of which will have been filled by students from La Mercè Humanities School and the Municipal Art School.
If you wish to participate, simply borrow one of the books following the usual library procedure, and return it punctually.
A Bòlit Contemporary Art Centre (Girona) production in collaboration with the Municipal Library Service and La Mercè Humanities School.

Common Bank of Knowledge is a platform for collective copyleft production and pilot experiments concerning the free exchange of knowledge and mutual education.
Common Bank of Knowledge focuses on recreating the social bond based on reciprocal learning, shared skills and collective intelligence. Pursuing two lines of action, Common Bank of Knowledge generates, on the one hand, a research and cultural innovation laboratory, and on the other, a platform for organising knowledge exchange markets between users. Local experts of all types are invited to share their knowledge at exchange sessions during which anybody can express their needs and/or offer their experience to whoever requires it.
