Use & Consent
The Walking Library depends on public participation and we want to make sure that our work is ethical. We’d like to inform you about how we will use the information you send us. We will include it in a digitally available catalogue and attach it to the book if it’s carried in The Walking Library. Digital reproductions of your written material may be used in future exhibitions of The Walking Library. We may also use it in public presentations, research papers, journal articles, websites and book chapters.
By sending us this information, you are giving us your consent to use it in this way. If you’d rather your contribution was anonymous, please do not include your name with the suggestion. You can withdraw your contribution any time before The Walking Library is released for public circulation in Walking Library events and we will delete it from our records.
Storage of data
We will extract your suggestion from your email and it won’t be stored or associated with your email address. We’ll store the information on the project’s password encrypted hard drive and Dropbox cloud service account and only the project team will have access to this data. All emails, hardcopy and electronic data collected will be destroyed once it is no longer required.
Concerns
This project is part of our practice-based research (Dee Heddon at University of Glasgow & Misha Myers at Monash University).
If you have any concerns or complaints about the conduct of the project, please do not hesitate to contact arts-researchoffice@glasgow.ac.uk
The Walking Library is an ongoing art research project by Dee Heddon & Misha Myers that brings together people, walking, books, and reading. Each library created responds to a variation of the question: What book would you take on a walk? We will be making a new Walking Library to map Glasgow as a Wild City, in collaboration with the artist Alec Finlay. The walks will be documented by photographer Mhairi Law, and there will be a series of associated walkshops with the poet Ken Cockburn and artist Kate McAllan. Wild City, a Glasgow 2018 European Championships commission, will map new walks and imagine rewilded streets. This new Walking Library is being developed in partnership with a number of organisations, including The Hidden Gardens, Govanhill Baths and RSPB.
