Olivia Plender’s ceration The Falkenberg Encyclopaedia turns the knowledge-and cultural centre Argus into a curiosity cabinet and an incomplete encyclopaedia for the collected knowledge of Falkenberg. What everyday activities are represented in the library? These are the questions that Olivia Plender investigated together with adults and young people from various associations in Falkenberg. She then sorted the information and classified and presented it in different forms.
In the children’s section of the library there is a textile frieze with animals and monsters from the world of fairytales. Here and in the fiction section, located on the second floor, there are also mobiles with images that refer to Olivia Plender’s system of classification. The same motifs are printed on the curtains of the office around the building’s atrium. All motifs have been collated in a book that is available to borrow from the library, and the system recurs once more, on a screen placed outside the library. If you glance quickly, the screen might appear to be one of the municipality’s signs, but if you go closer, you can see that it refers to The Falkenberg Encyclopedia.
