EXHIBITION AS MEDIUM - START SYMPOSIUM

As a starting point for the Exhibition as Medium programme curated by Toby Huddlestone, speakers were invited to present ideas on alternate models of exhibition format, and to comment on a shift from the more traditional spatial 'static' show to something more active, temporal and engaging.

The project poster, biographies, and a recording of Paul O'Neill's presentation are available to download below. 

Exhibition as Medium and the Start Symposium are supported by KCC and Arts Council England.
