All 40 projects have now been confirmed, and the countdown to create the work is well and truly on. Over the next 5 months the artists involved will be thinking, sketching, experimenting, making, doing and everything in between to come up with their final piece for the exhibition in January.
We’ll see installations, sculptures, moving image, books, posters and lots more besides before we start to fill the gallery at the beginning of 2010. From now on, this blog will document how all of the contributors are getting on, giving you a behind the scenes look at how things are coming together for the grand unveiling.
If you’d like to know more about the project, please drop us an e-mail on [email protected] and you can follow us on Twitter here.

I remember seeing KarlssonWilker speak in New york about four years ago and have been a fan of their dry wit and design ever since. We are pleased to have them involved in this year’s project and they will be working with fellow creative Frank DeRose. Frank was born and raised in Queens and has a history in performing hiphop and rap music but also is a designer and has his own studio, Zut Alors, Inc.
In Jan Wilker’s own words “The starting point for us will be a hiphop song that the two of us will create together. Hopefully during the process sound and words will lead to other adventures.”
