'The Book is Dead, Long Live the Book!' was a showcase of poems that perform "off-the-page" and which were written on site at the Glasgow School of Art Charles Rennie Mackintosh Library.
This showcase was the culmination of a site-specific collaborative residency focussing on digital and performance poetry, and the relationship between architectural space and practice. It is also part of a larger research project by Alan Hooper and Inga Paterson about the library space. The work has taken on a strange quality given the tragic fire which destroyed the Library shortly after our residency there. The group is currently working towards a hardback publication featuring the poems and critical essays from the project.
This sample tries to re-create and document just one of the many performances from that residency:
