Zhang Xiaodong, a Chinese artist, has revived the ancient technique of dragon-scale bookbinding, which was popular during the Tang Dynasty. This technique involves creating books that resemble Chinese dragons, with each page appearing like a scale. Zhang has dedicated himself to mastering this art form and has completed eight dragon-scale bookbinding works. He has also integrated this technique with accordion binding and created a version of the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions. Zhang's innovative approach has gained recognition, and he has also explored other paper-based art forms, such as qianye. He believes that ancient bookbinding techniques provide new possibilities for the future of print publishing. [Extracted from the article]

This paper presents the results of the setup of an art exhibition-intervention carried out with the intention of raising awareness on the role played by libraries in the workplace and in the urban context. A heterogeneous group of individuals of different ages and occupations were invited to participate in a proposal. They were asked to define the notion of "Science" and to provide an object of determined dimensions to materialize their answers. Since the newspaper library is now an online tool, both the space and the magazine racks intended for serial print publications were underused. Thus, this space was remodelled by transforming the out-dated furniture into a place to display art pieces and opinions. The idea continues to be developed as the institution's travelling exhibition (EEZ-CSIC). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
