House Projects_ artworks. documentation. analysis.

House Projects was a series of seven exhibitions spanning five months in 2007, in various locations (Ireland, London and New York), with the participation of seven coordinators/curators, forty-nine artists, and eight writers. It was conceived as an interdisiplinary collaboration between artists, curators and critics, intended to eschew established or heirarchical roles. The publication, which is the summation of that collaboration, serves as a document of the artworks that made up the exhibitions, alongside texts that alternately describe, react to, contextualise, or act as a critical response to the curators’ ideas.
