  • The Infinite Library, an exhibition by Haris Epaminonda and Daniel Gustav Cramer in the MUHBA Fabra i Coats, in a former factory in San Andreu, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The exhibition features a growing collection of books created by merging pages, spines and covers of found books together, to create new ones. Fabra i Coats was a large industrial site with cotton spinning factory employing 3000 people in the early 20th century. The factory declined from the 1970s and closed in 2005. A portion of the industrial site has since been refurbished as a cultural centre, the Centre Can Fabra, housing a library, startup companies, artist studios, contemporary arts centre and community and social centres.
