My research began both on the basis of general interest and simply in an attempt to get myself thinking. The included artists reflect a series of loose connections made apparent through the curatorial process of research. Some of the exhibition artists will be represented by artworks, others by various media about their work; a basic premise of the exhibition is the equality of the two. During the course of the exhibition the gallery space will be transformed into a site of research, a space akin to that of a comfortable study. Gallery visitors will be provided with an opportunity to look through the curatorﾕs research material (art periodicals, websites, etc.), to choose to view work from a selection of artist dvds, to consider works hanging on the gallery walls. The intention is to suggest a non-hierarchical relationship between artist, text, curator and viewer.
