SPECIAL COLLECTION
(2022)
SYDENHAM INTERNATIONAL
Description
An archival exhibition, of creative works drawn out and extended on, from digital to material forms; a provisional library which includes texts of special value, from the personal collections of our contributing artists; a space wherein we can spend long durations with those writers/thinkers that have influenced our thinking and practice.
In building this library, we are interested in the ways a text might betray a sense of having been lived with and alongside; notes / comments / folded pages / signs of wear and tear /of treasured and pleasured annotations; those intimacies and proximities that index the ways in which ideas and words never expire on the page, but permeate all facets of experiential syntax.
Exhibition: 23 – 30 July 2022
Opening Event: Saturday 23 July 2022
Closing Event: Music performance by the music box project
Curated by Elia Bosshard and James Hazel.
Opening event photography by Eliza Savage.
Work photography and room sheet design by Elia Bosshard.
Special thanks to Consuelo Cavaniglia and Brendan Van Hek of Sydenham International for their kind and generous support, and for the opportunity to hold this exhibition here. Thank you to the SI volunteers for their hours offered to tend this space.
