TESTING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE EXHIBITION FORMAT

Franziska Lantz, Night Falls, 2010


A Curatorial collective who explored the possibilties of online publication to create an exhibition that challenged the boundaries of existing exhibition format. The works moved beyond the confines of physical space to reach a larger audience.

Listen to audio works & narratives here:


7 May—11 July 2010


‘Have a Look! Have a Look!’ screams the woman that sells fruits and vegetables in a stall right in front of FormContent’s window on Ridley Road market. Her voice attracts the passer-by 
becoming a physical presence to distinguish one stall from the others.

Similarly HaVE A LoOk! HAve a LOok! was a physical and mental gathering of sounds, words and objects tackling the dematerialization of art pieces into aural manifestations. Ranging from live events, pre-recorded contributions and curated sessions, the project explores the existing relationship between the physicality of an object and the possibility of its oral transmission.

This exhibition utilised online audio streaming,, the artists published a weekly update questionning the transitory nature of an exhibition and explored the relationship between narrative and presence of the physical work.
