Mandi Goodier: Call for appropriations.
Mandi Goodier is looking for people to participate in her latest project.
This is a call for appropriations.
How to participate....
I am inviting you to take ownership of the text. To write/mark upon the sheet of paper as you might do with a theoretical or academic writing. Creating a sort of map of your approach to the text. Interrogate it, change it, edit it, define it, critique it, re-write it, empathise with it... do whatever you like as long as you act upon the page. APPROPRIATE IT.
The result will be a rewriting of the original text in order to make it more complete through collective understanding/interpretations, or more flawed text as meaning may have all together deteriorated. The rewritten text will be generated by you, the reader who through reading, understanding and marking the sheet will become a part of the collective author.
The collated responses and rewritten text will then be reproduced in the form of a publication.
To participate simply download the attachment, print, digest the contents, appropriate the text and then return it to me via email/post (preferably post)
Please forward this email/photocopied version of the text (+ instructions) to anyone else who may be interested in participating.
(If emailing please cc usergeneration@gmail.com to help keep track of the project, I will not hound you with emails I promise)
Email: usergeneration@gmail.com for the text.

Library reopens at Islington Mill.
The Library has reopened at Islington Mill, so please feel free to come and peruse the collection.
Islington Mill
James Street
Salford M3 5HW
Islington Mill is a former cotton spinning mill in Salford, very close to Manchester’s city centre. Unlike much of Manchester's industrial heritage which has been converted into loft apartments, Islington Mill is now home to over 50 artists studios, two art galleries a recording studio and club space. It’s one of the few creative spaces in Salford, and has evolved over ten years to become the cultural haven that it is now.

A big thank you.
Salford Zine Library was formed at the beginning of this year and has grown beyond our expectations. We have had hundreds of donations from across six continents and have been taken back by the generosity. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the project, visited the library and all those who have given us space to show the library. The library has been exhibited in Salford, Manchester, Romford and Durham, and visited book fares in Glasgow and Penarth. We would like to thank Denise, the teachers and pupils of Frances Bardsley School for a very enjoyable workshop. We have had a wonderful response on our travels and would like to thank all those who invited the Library. We have lots planed for the New Year and hope to see you at the library’s home, Islington Mill, Salford soon. We will continue to make the library as accessible as possible.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Craig & Matt
