Packed into two days, the gallery space will be a focus for the engagement artists invest in books. The exhibition will include works from John Latham's film and book-event archive, Damien Hirst's commercially produced ‘I Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life Everywhere With Everyone, One To One, Always, Forever, Now' and ‘et in arcadia' by Helen Chadwick. landscapist (an ‘opening' event) will be performed at the opening night and includes works by Hiromi Tshua, Finlay Taylor, Susan Johanknecht, Kate Scrivener, Alva McKenzie and Eli Zafran.
