Going Nowhere

This publication highlights a number of Simon Faithfull’s journeys; all of which take us, in one way or other, to the edge of nothingness. Emphasising the pivotal place of film and video within Faithfull’s practice, 'Going Nowhere' is an indispensable point of entry into this artist’s distinctive and inventive work.

Seascape

Charting the span of Susan Collin's 'Seascape' from its earliest online manifestations to its gallery exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, this publication offers an overview of this innovative project which uses digital technology to bring a new element to a long-standing pictorial tradition reflecting man's enduring relationship to the sea.

The Memorial Walks

'The Memorial Walks' celebrates a unique project, in which artist Simon Pope invited a series of writers to memorise a scene from a landscape painting, which they would then be asked to recall while out walking in the open country. This pocket size 'field guide' features recollections from well-known literary names such as Geoff Dyer, Iain Sinclair, Hari Kunzru, Trezza Azzopardi and Tom McCarthy.

Silicon Fen

A record of a long-running visual arts project focusing on the complex relationship between landscape and technology, 'Silicon Fen' features work by Suky Best, Susan Collins, Dalziel + Scullion, Annabel Howland, Stephen Hughes and TNWK, with texts by Iain Sinclair, Simon Willmoth, Steven Bode, Sean Cubitt and Tom Williamson.
