OLA House of Books

The OLA House of Books which was started on World Book Day earlier this year was completed during the OLA Reading Festival.
This exciting installation by the Art Department was developed from an initial idea by the Library and involved the whole school in creating a structure made of books. Inspired by the work of prize-winning Canadians Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, who exhibited at Modern Art Oxford in 2009, OLA's construction is made of old books many of them individually wrapped. Each contributor has labelled their parcel (an old book) with details of their favourite book and a one-word description.
