Gudrun Lock Shoreham Repository is an experimental archive focused on the interstitial world of the buffers of Shoreham Yards in Northeast Minneapolis. Created and compiled between 2019 and 2023, it was acquired by the James K. Hosmer Special Collections Department of the Minneapolis Central Library in March 2024. The archive is available to the public, can be added to over time, and will be maintained in perpetuity. It houses exhibition ephemera, corporate reports, data sets, maps, illustrations, photographs, artworks, personal notes and observations, books that inspired the project, plant pressings, four pairs of degraded men’s underpants, found objects such as rocks, seed pods and debris, a Dakota language poem and short experimental film produced by three collaborators: Liz Cates, Gloria, and Stefon Leron Alexander. Additional data sets, artworks and writings included in the archive were created/collected by Miranda Trimmier, Dave Zumeta, Stuart McLean, Elizabeth Workman, Leslie Grant, Hallie Bahn, Jeffrey Skemp, Janet Lobberecht, Greg Feinberg, Chad Giblin, Kathryn Savage, Jessica Rossi Mastracci, Alicia Johnson, Xiating Chen and others
