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.

Sandy Suffield & Fiona Woodcock
We met Sandy when she came in and blew us away with her stunning emroidered work. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a site to show us it online, but take our word for it being fantastically intricate and satisfying. We asked her to be involved in this year’s project on the spot and she has chosen Fiona Woodcock to be her partner.
Fiona and Sandy’s project was prompted by the press reaction to the budget, with broadsheets shouts of ‘Armageddon’, The Sun countered with a headline – ‘At least it’s sunny’. Fiona and Sandy will produce a series of images using cover headlines from the paper, they’re interested in the poetry and wit of the copy, the potentially short-lived period in which people understand the meaning/context of a headline and how this is further obscured by our treatment of them – stitching and painting the words and embellishing them with drawings.
