Other Rooms, Other Voices

MacAskill has researched, explored and experienced the collections at The National Library of Wales. This exhibition tells the story of her discoveries and shows artworks that form a personal portrait of the Library, reflecting her response to the residency undertaken between January and October 2008. The exhibition will feature photography and mixed media artworks, as well as a film project, and will be designed to fully utilise the library’s building. The exhibition will also contain work created on the project by four schools from all over Wales; Tan y Castell (Harlech), Nantgaredig, Llanidloes and Bro Ddyfi (Machynlleth). Under Blue MacAskill’s guidance, the pupils have enhanced their understanding of what the Library has to offer them and their communities. A series of visits to the Library, and several workshops held at the schools led by MacAskill, have resulted in the making of these artworks.
