Experience the I Just Called Exhibition by Colin James Woods in Local Libraries

Glengormley Library is delighted to announce the launch of the unique touring exhibition I Just Called by artist Colin James Woods. The exhibition will commence its journey through local libraries from May to September 2024, starting with a launch event in Glengormley Library on Friday 10 May at 11:00am.

I Just Called is a curated series of voice recordings featuring individuals leaving unscripted messages for their loved ones. With voices originating from Northern Ireland and New Zealand, spanning approximately 20 different languages, these anonymous recordings touch upon themes of love, shared humanity, and heartfelt communication. Each message invites the listener to hear individuals sharing heartfelt and private sentiments with their loved ones.

The exhibition, featuring a telephone seat and framed poster in each library, allows visitors to scan the QR code on the poster, sit on the telephone seat, and immerse themselves in the messages using their own smartphones.

Colin James Woods (see photo below) will be present in each library to provide an artist's talk, offering insight into the creation of I Just Called and extending an invitation for attendees to participate in the project.

Everyone is welcome to join us at the launch in Glengormley Library on Friday 10 May at 11:00am.
