HYPERTEXT: Jade Montserrat in conversation with Nikita Gill
Artist Jade Montserrat and Curator Nikita Gill will be in conversation about the future plans for the recently launched exhibition project ‘Constellations: Care & Resistance’ at Manchester Art Gallery. The exhibition constitutes an active research space supporting Montserrat in creating new work to be acquired, exhibited and displayed by the Gallery. The gallery will be used both to exhibit works, curated by Gill (who has operated as a proxy for Montserrat whilst the artist is unable to attend the gallery, as in the recent online performance ‘Drawing Out’) and also as a space for discussion and pedagogy. This event marks the beginning of a year-long conversation around the exhibition which will inform the content of a publication. The book will act as a document of the project itself but also as a continued development on themes that arise during its duration.

HYPERTEXT is a virtual art book fair presented by Bound Art Book Fair in collaboration with Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool. Bound Art Book Fair is typically held at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, but took the decision to create an online event for 2020 in order to support our community in this time of crisis, and drive revenue to artists and publishers. The free public programme of online events co-programmed with Open Eye Gallery included panel discussions, lectures, slideshows and site-specific presentations, with a specific focus on new work, work in progress, or events which demonstrate innovative ways to present publications in digital space. HYPERTEXT is supported by Arts Council England.
