Join The University of Stirling Art Collection, CRISP and artist Hans K Clausen to celebrate the formal opening of the Winston Smith Library of Victory and Truth, a temporary installation in the University of Stirling Library.

A visual art installation, a sculpture, a library, a museum, a curiosity, a venue, consisting solely of one novel, 1,984 copies of George Orwell’s iconic novel1984, donated and sourced from around the world. ‘The Library’ forms a living, touring artwork and a forum for creativity, curiosity and conversation.

We'll be meeting from 4pm to hear a bit about the artwork, and how it fits within it's temporary home at the University Library and have a chance to come together to view this thought-provoking installation. Speakers include: Professor Sir Gerry McCormac, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Stirling; Professor William Webster, Director of CRISP; Jenni Brochie from the Information Commissioners Office; Quentin Kopp, Chair of the Orwell Society and Hans K Clausen, the artist who created the exhibition.

All are welcome, light refreshments will be provided.

This is a collaborative exhibition between the University of Stirling Art Collection and the Centre for Research into Information, Surveillance and Privacy (CRISP). While the exhibition is on, there will be a series of events relating to 1984, please keep an eye on the website for more details.
