Igor has installed a work at the Walker Art Gallery. He has been working with the image of a wall in the Poussin room and has created simulacra of paintings that might reasonably be included in that collection. These immaculate copies have been cut into strips, then rolled up into tiny scrolls. The scrolls are quite small, perhaps 20 cm by 10 cm. They are hung with the existing paintings and labelled in the same manner as the rest of the collection.


Svetlana will arrange a performance in the international reading room of Liverpool Library. It is an extraordinary space, forming a dish at the base of a complete sphere, the top half of which is the main reading room. Concentric galleries provide shelving and reading desks that descend, following the contour of the sphere to its base. In this theatrical space six students wearing a very simple costume will sit reading.


Apart from their clothing and their long stay they will be indistinguishable from other readers. The performance will be videoed for the week and will then be exhibited on a video monitor as a continuing part of the exhibition.
