Archive of Destruction Reader II launch
Wednesday 23 April 2025 6.30–8.00pm
Please join us to celebrate the launch of Archive of Destruction Reader II. Jes Fernie, curator and writer, will introduce the archive and Reader at 7pm. She will be joined by Gareth Bell-Jones (Director, Flat Time House) and Rosie Ram (Course Leader, MA Culture, Criticism and Curation, Central Saint Martins) who will briefly respond to the archive and the provocations embedded within it.
The Reader includes conversations, texts, photos, statements, reflections and a graphic story by / with artists, curators, academics and writers on the necessary destruction of artworks; vulnerability and death; catharsis and joy; restorative practice; ghosts of our youth, and archives of neglect.
Contributors: Pilar Quinteros, Tschabalala Self, Joseph Constable, Jaime Gili, Alice Channer, Anne Hardy, Rosie Ram, Ben Cranfield and Candice Purwin
This will be an informal affair. Everyone welcome!
Copies of the reader will be on sale for £8. All proceeds go towards contributors’ fees for Reader III.
