Shauna McMullan : Blue Spine Project

Blue Spine: An Invitation

As part of the Making Space project, Shauna McMullan is creating a single, long, blue, line of books borrowed and collected from women throughout Scotland.You are invited to take part in this artwork.

Can you lend a book to the Blue Spine collection?

Your book needs to:

• Have a blue spine or have blue somewhere in the spine &
• Be written by a woman

You will be invited to celebrate the opening of the artwork and to see your book as part of this collection in The Mitchell Library in May 2010. Following the exhibition your book will be returned to you with a numbered bookmark enclosed, recognising your book’s place within this collection. Your book will need to be borrowed until August 2010 and it is important to include a note of your name, address and contact details with your book.

Please send your book to Blue Spine Collection, Glasgow Women’s Library, 81 Parnie Street, Glasgow, G1 5RH – or drop it off at the Library.

If you have any questions about the Blue Spine collection, please contact us or email Shauna on shauna.mcmullan@womenslibrary.org.uk

The idea of this project interests me , the involvement of all types of people is something that makes the project what it is. The concept of involving people in a project like Shauna McMullan's, is something I am interested in exploring in my current work. Without peoples involvement in this project, the work would be unsucessfull.
