Dust to dust

We’ve heard of books picking up dust but news from Plymouth Arts Centre takes it one step further.
When you’re out and about in Plymouth, be on the lookout for Lau Thiam Kok’s new book, DUST, which will be turning up on park benches, bus seats and cafe tables.
The book is filled writings about ‘palpable place or metaphysical place’ (now that’s what we call ‘fear in a handful of dust’), which has been commissioned through Plymouth Arts Centre’s artists and curators residency project; a programme which supports emerging artists in the city of Plymouth to develop their practice.
Some 1,000 copies of DUST will be left in random places across Plymouth, and can be taken from place to place – left on a park bench, at a coffee shop, or the bookshelf.
You can join the online Flickr group to watch and share these found books, or visit Lau Thiam Kok’s site.
