Ermine Exhibition: Performance, Installation and original score © Ruby Tingle Chetham’s Library Manchester- Commissioned and Produced as part of Manifest Arts Festival 2017. With collaborators Dirty Freud, Mike Chavez-Dawson and Simon Woolham. A living self portrait with original score installed in the Reading Room of Chethams Library; responsive ideas were drawn together along with fictional concepts set in the city, reflecting the Library’s collection of local folktales. A number of items in the library collection were of significant inspiration, including the Belle Vue photo archives and the donation of natural history curiosities including an alligator skin. Ermine was created by the artist as a new urban myth is set in the surrounding medieval quarter: a make-believe future Manchester has suffered an oil spill into the Irwell, forcing its water fowl to adapt and set up home in metropolitan habitats. Focusing on the unnatural presence of white in nature, the exhibition looked at imagined animal mutations as a result of manmade substances and interference- albino sewer alligators, golden insects and oil spill anomalies all featured as interventions within the library.

I’m in the oldest public library in the English-speaking world -Chetham’s Library. It was founded in 1653 with a mandate “to require nothing of any many that cometh into the library.” And I’m sitting in the alcove at the desk where Marx and Engels studied the books in the library in 1845. The guide who took us around said that at that time adjacent to the library were some horrible slums on a now-underground river that constantly flooded. The residents were often workers in the cotton mills, earning a pittance while the owners made millions. Since the river was an open sewer, disease was rampant and Marx and Engels could smell its foulness as they read books and wrote at the library. At the end of the day they���d go to the pubs and talk to the workers, which shaped their drive to come up with a system that would eliminate the extremes of wealth and poverty. As the guide said, in Manchester today the divide between rich and poor is as bad as it ever was. But now it is the banks that are the equivalent of the mill owners. And we can see all the homeless on the streets. Same in every city, n’est-ce pas? #manchester #chethamslibrary #library #ilovelibraries #supportpubliclibraries #reading #karlmarx #friedrichengels #humphreychetham #history #travel #uk #themoreyouknow #mcr (at Chetham's Library)
