Line-Up Confirmed

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.

Matilda Tristram & Rafael Sommerhalder

Not many introductions to someone’s work involve a balloon attached to a recorder, but Matilda Tristram bucks that trend. I saw her delightfully whimsical work at the Royal College of Art a couple of years ago on the animation showreel and have been hooked ever since. Teaming up with equally gifted animator Rafael Sommerhalder they are sure to come up with something out of the ordinary.
