Abstract
Artist Stuart Whipps presents Plum Pudding: Boot House at Perry Common Library, a collection of stories that centre around three modernist buildings in the West Midlands – Whipps’ family home in Perry Common, Birmingham Central Library and the Wolverhampton School of Art. The performance is followed by an in-conversation between the artist and Jo Capper, Collaborative Programme Director, Grand Union.
I learnt to read by reciting words from used tobacco tins in our family home on Enderby Road but it was in the library at Perry Common that I withdrew my first book. Our house, the eponymous boot house of the title of this event, was demolished in the dying days of the twentieth century but the library remains and hosts a reading of a text I’ve written in response to Ikon’s exhibition Horror in the Modernist Block – Stuart Whipps
