Benny Nemer : I don't know where paradise is - Anderson, Heather; Cvetkovich, Ann; Evans, Jennifer; Potvin, John (Ottawa : Carleton University Art Gallery, 2023)
“A vibration comes from the library: a hum. Is it the hum of the books? The murmur of characters and diagrams and photographs pressed tightly between pages, rubbing up against each other? Is it the hum of all the things that for one reason or another did not find their ways into the library, humming, calling out for a reader? ” Produced as the final work of Nemer’s practice-led PhD, I Don’t Know Where Paradise Is is a multi-chaptered audio guide that mediates encounters with the libraries and homes of a group of loosely-interconnected gay scholars and artists in Amsterdam, Montreal, London, Paris, and Vienna.(from the webside of the artist)
