The Thousands

I always bang on about how reading and art cultivate cranial growth. I also feel elated when the word Bibliotheka gets thrown around. So, what happens when you bang a pioneering art institution with a relish for books? A marriage of mode and smarts for public consumption.

Acting as a permanent installation designed by Laboratory for Visionary Architecture’s, Chris Bosse, who has a clear penchant for honey, Words etcetera is a bookshelf and a larger literary project with a series of events at SCAF.**Curated by the heads at SCAF and aiming to answer what the contemporary reader wants to consume, these spines read much like a matured wine – with foreign hints and deep flavours. While we’re on the bone talk, Jitish Kallat’s Aquasaurus has pictures of skeletal cars and tuktuks, so it’s home to more than just essays, scholarly catalogues and curator speak.

Sit on stools by SANAA as you input information. Here The View From Elsewhere is available through the pages of a book. This is a growing bookshelf and space to frequent as SCAF welcomes the public and the curious into their private hive.
