Random Archive Exhibition – (20/05/2017- 12/08/2017)
Curated by Susan Lord and Dr. Hannah Allan, the Random Archive exhibition featured work of national and international Language Artists which is part of Bury Art Museum’s unique Text Art Archive. Random Archive attempts to push boundaries by questioning how an archive can be viewed, accessed and explored. This is a unique opportunity for visitors to get up close in a gallery setting to a collection which is usually kept in store, the public will be encouraged to interact with it and explore it afresh.
Featured artists: Philip Davenport, Marton Koppany, Ron Silliman, Lawrence Weiner, and many others
