Overview
David Shrigley upcycles thousands of unwanted Dan Brown novels into new, limited-edition Nineteen Eighty-Four.
In 2017, a charity bookshop in Swansea, UK made headline news as a result of exhibiting several hundred copies of Dan Brown's 2003 novel 'The Da Vinci Code' in its window with a sign requesting that no more copies of the book be donated as they had more than they could sell. 'Pulped Fiction' is a project by visual artist David Shrigley, who has produced a limited run of 1,250 copies of George Orwell's dystopian novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' made entirely from the pulped remains of unwanted copies of 'The Da Vinci Code'. There will be a free exhibition at Oxfam Books and Music, and and hourly screenings of the documentary at Volcano Theatre in Swansea on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 October, 10am-5pm.
