Writer in Residence at Blackwell Bookshop, Oxford: Roma TearneTuesday 27th April to Saturday 1st May 2010 Roma Tearne, the acclaimed novelist and artist, will take up a week's residency at Blackwell Bookshop in Oxford from Monday 26th April to Saturday 1st May 2010.
"I will be capturing the life of a large bookshop. The residency will take the form of an investigation into what it really is like to work with, and surrounded by, books. Books are magical things, material objects, receptacles of imagination and ideas, information and touchstones of feeling."Some of the things planned for the residency will reveal the passion that underpins bookselling in one of the most famous bookshops in the country. The residency, designed to be informal, but also engaging of and to the bookshop's customers, will see Roma take her initial inspiration from paragraphs chosen from certain books taken from various departments within the bookshop. Additional inspiration will come from the staff, customers and other visitors to Blackwell, as well as photography of images from the bookshop. It's a very fertile ground - the ideas that occur, the conversations that take place and the traits that are observed in the bookshop will all become sources which nurture Roma's imagination. Observing the staff and customers as they go about their daily business, wandering amongst the books at various times in the day, Tearne will produce a small body of both written and visual work. Visit the official Roma Tearne "Between the Lines" page at Blackwell Online here.
