Open File
Events series, publication & website launch
18 November – 8 December 2011
Open File is a curatorial conversation between artist Jack Brindley and curator Tim Dixon.
Launching at Grand Union this autumn, the project will exist as an on-going series of live events, an open and expanding cumulative publication, and a new web-based archive and resource at openfile.org.uk.
Open File seeks to explore the significance and relevance of working across these different platforms by commissioning new work and revisiting old. Our aim is to expand and unpack creative practices and forge unexpected links between outcomes.
Investigating ways in which we interact with architecture and space, these first 4 events will look into the past industrial function of the Grand Union building and its current manifestation as a gallery. Through the physicality of the gallery and virtual space of the website the project seeks establish an enquiry into the interaction between the material and the immaterial.
Programme:
