The Book Cube

The OSA Archivum inherited a collection of about 100,000 books from the library of Radio Free Europe. About 20,000 of them were deemed useless by professionals as well as laymen. These dull, purposeless books became the building material for 20 Book Cubes: book blocks bound in plastic. The 50 x 50 x 60 cm works of art, all uniformly shaped but with varying content depending on the books used in them can be freely borrowed for a period of one year by any educational, cultural or civil organization. Our aim is to encourage discussions, programs, and any activities relating to the topic of books/libraries/reading.

For more about the Book Cube and the application procedure go to www.konyvkocka.osaarchivum.org

Applications will be considered on May 30, 2009.

The OSA Archivum will take care of the transport of the cubes.
