THE INFORMATION PARADOX by Kathryn DiLego

installation of ink drawings on over 200 discarded library book covers with hand-stamped date due cards in library pockets, black ribbons, and antique skeleton keys. Inspired by theoretical physics and anti-intellectualism, the project uses repetitive mark-making and a destructive fetishization of books to illustrate the death of ideas.

Box your books like a Sister tucking orphans into bed. All musty and rescued. Pounds of outdated references, unnecessary math, forgotten novels, un-preferred translations. Health and child-rearing manuals old enough to be dangerous.

Delicate illustrations, spidery illegible inscriptions. Miles of linotype and fields of three-color printing. Each cardboard-lidded little unit a life, a friend, a discard. Where do your ideas go when you check out?
