Description:

Catalogue of the exhibition of the same name devised, curated and produced by Louise Wirz. The book is ring bound and each page is divided and cut into three to enable the reader to flick through at (anarchic) leisure. The exhibition showcased artist led activity from throughout the Uk involving over 40 artists and artist groups in Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art (NGCA), Sunderland as well as in offsite venues across the city in a rolling programme. The catalogue was an early example of "open curating/ publishing" handing over the pages in the same way that the exhibition "handed over" the gallery to its participants. Not a long theoretical treatise but an interesting demonstration of Wirz's subtle approach.
