Museum London and the Words Festival are pleased to host a visit with the artists and curators of GardenShip & State for a launch of their exhibition catalogue.
GardenShip and State: A Book is a World
Sunday, 5 November, 3:00PM - 5:00PM
Featuring: Patrick Mahon, Jeff Thomas (Co-curators)
Katie Wilhelm (Designer); Ruth Skinner (Editor) Tom Cull, Michelle Wilson (Contributors)
Marlene Creates, Patricia Deadman (Respondents)
How do art book publications represent worlds and propose world-making? This gathering of curators, artists, designer/editors and writers will address the ways art projects can lead to the production of catalogues and books as archives of cultural materials that act as references and touchstones for ongoing work towards positive change and transformation.
Curators Patrick Mahon and Jeff Thomas will be joined by collaborators and book producers, Tom Cull, Ruth Skinner, Katie Wilhelm and Michelle Wilson, to trace the journey from the GardenShip exhibition to its published iterations as a book and an almanac. The conversation will be enhanced by responses and stories from Newfoundland-based artist, Marlene Creates, and Curator of the Woodlands Cultural Centre, Patricia Deadman, who will share some of their own tales and evidence of other publication-making journeys.
