We would like to invite you to visit Lodger, a reading lounge of the exotic, foreign and alien set within Westminster Reference Library.
About
The lounge features a selection of books, paintings, objects and plants that together seek to encourage an examination of otherness. Further artworks and texts wait to be discovered throughout the library.
Works featured range from Rodrigo Meneses’ transformation of the visual cues of emotion into graphic signs, to the journeys between exoticism and belonging in the paintings of Cara Nahaul and James Alfred Hart, and the revision of historic narratives in David Duvshani’s drawings and books.
Artists, curators, writers and other contributors: Cara Nahaul, Mi-Young Choi, James Alfred Hart, Rodrigo Meneses, David Duvshani, Alexandra Ezberova, Antonio García-Acosta, Helena Lugo, Claude-Henri Bartoli, Rosaura, Isaac Olvera, Qian Qian, Justas Santaris, Derzu Campos, Andrés Ordaz, Lanny Walker, Maeve O’Neill, Lelia Acosta, Iván Juárez: x - studio, Norman Mine, Robert Good, BAA, Alexa Phillips, Rossella Black, Asia Fuse and Iván Said.
