Exploring the nature and identity of a book, part of an experimental project by Collaborative Art is the ‘Tracing my Echo’ book, an alternative exhibition space within a publication. The reading material for this proposal is suggested to be the book itself. The book will be introduced to the group and offered for ‘reading’, towards a discussion about the book’s functionality and alternative spatial identity.

Referencing the ‘Xerox Book‘ 1968 by Seth Siegelaub and John Wendler , and other projects such as ‘Zingmagazine: a curatorial crossing’ by D. Dikeou, ‘The Mule’ etc, that explore the relationship between a publication, curatorial intervention and the understanding of presentational platforms; and reflecting the views of Jonathan Meades in his book ‘Museum without walls’, on artwork reproduction and representation and its dynamic, the group will be offered a platform to discuss, debate and react to the presentation of the book as an exhibitional space.

The referencing material along with the publication and a brief presentation of the project will be included in the 2 hour event and will aim raise questions of the readabily of a space and an exhibition when presented in alternative set-ups and if the space such as a ‘book’ defines the interaction with its content due to its established functionality, if any.
