Heman Chong will launch his new long-term project entitled The Library of Unread Books, a members-only reference library made up of donated books that are unread by their previous owners. The price for a lifetime membership to the library is the donation of a single unread book. Each member will be issued a membership card which will grant access to the library. For the duration of his residency the Library will also be open to the public every Friday, from 12.00pm to 12.00am.
