Dear Participants of Volume 4;
Unrealised Projects is currently undergoing a change. Through the natural course of collaborative, conceptual and practical development, we are updating the content of the site, making visible the multiple subjects that have developed under the umbrella of the unrealised, and are continuing to expand how this notion can be defined. Volume 4, of which you have submitted work, will be framed and developed by guest curator Josh Love and Unrealised Projects. The presentation model and space of display of previous volumes will be readdressed through a program of discursive events culminating in an exhibition of your works being contractually 'realised' by Love. The exhibition/launch will focus on the framing that Unrealised Projects transposes upon unrealised works and the guest curator's alternate role as producer.
'The theme for Volume 4 centres on an exchange of moral rights, production roles, obligation, and the notion of realising unrealised works.
Over the next few months and through a discursive production program, each work is to be readdressed as 'realisable' for the limited duration of an exhibition that will occur later in the year.
With a discursive, practical and legal approach to the interpretation of your project's ideas, we aim to focus on the artist's intellectual property rights and producer's moral rights when developing projects collaboratively. Traceable similarities between unrealised works will become apparent within the production of Volume 4 projects, and be made visible in the exhibition of them.
The framing of volumes on Unrealised Projects as separate entities is to be shifted in an exhibition platform that relates unrealised projects both spatially and in productional development.
This project seeks to license the copyright for the production of each artist's work to be represented spatially. Unrealised Projects and Josh Love will hold equal share in the licensed copy of production for this period of time and in turn offer the labour, funding and platform for the work to be shown.'
Josh Love - Guest Curator
Participation in this exchange project is not obligatory. Works already submitted to Volume 4 will be shown online to the specifications outlined in your initial proposal.
