Written in the Margins
A documentation of material in progress
from
Pulp: A Short Biography of the Banished Book

published by
Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin
with the support of National Arts Council, Singapore


Published in conjunction with the exhibition Written in the Margins. Includes texts by Marianna Liosi, Mark Gisboune and Wilma Lukatsch, as well as photographic material from the ongoing ten-year project, Pulp: A Short Biography of the Banished Book.

The Pulp project involves film, artwork, and five volumes about the history of book destruction, censorship, and other forms of repression, as well as the book as activism and resistance. Shubigi Rao films people, and public and private libraries globally, that have served as flashpoints in history, collecting ephemera, anecdotes, buried secrets, creating a composite of the conjoined literary and violent trajectories of our species.

This material was presented for the first time in Written in the Margins. at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, in April-May 2017.
