Chapter 1: The Missing Catalogue
Over 16,000 books but no subject catalogue to browse through its hidden offerings and scattered contents. The non-public library of Kunsthalle Wien is in itself a shady subject with unexplored corners and faults. This, we think, is the best starting point for an experiment.
Join the Denkfabrik in the invention of a classification system that will guide future visitors and readers onto unexplored, usually restricted and unforeseen routes through unsteady shelves.
