This symposium will present two keynote presentations on possibility and spectatorship by Janna Graham and Dave Beech respectively, along with each project as part of the Exhibition as Medium programme being reviewed and discussed by those involved, including Andrew Cross, Bob Levene, Paul O'Neill and Neal White among others, along with an introduction from programme curator Toby Huddlestone.
The symposium will end with a discussion chaired by Paul O'Neill, leading to an open dialogue inviting questions and thoughts from all attendees.

This is the final element of the Exhibition as Medium programme. Beginning with Start Symposium in early 2011, the programme and organisation was always perceived as an ongoing active conversation delving into alternate exhibition formats, thinking about the exhibition as one co-authored artwork rather than a space in which to show separately authored works. The programme has attempted to bridge the chasm between the discussion generated through research and process, and the 'final' exhibited product.

Crate is offering an opportunity to develop an 18-month programme for its project spaces, starting early in 2013.

This opportunity is aimed at artists and curators who have previous experience of curating and coordinating projects and who are happy to self direct a programme and work independently. Crate is a small but ambitious organisation and the applicant needs to be aware of building and maintaining the infrastructure around the organisation - it is a mutually supportive opportunity - you support Crate and Crate supports you. There is administrative support available, and the recipient will also receive the assistance of a recently (UCA) graduated paid curatorial intern, but the entire running of the programme from conception to delivery needs to be self-initiated and delivered.
It is also encouraged that the recipient will help develop the organisation outside of the curated programme, by devising key initiatives with the Crate team to contribute to the organisation's sustainability into the future.
We will also accept proposals from collectives.

The successful applicant for the bursary will receive a £1000 fee to develop a programme proposal including funding applications, with Crate's support. The funding applications will include a negotiable curator’s fee as part of the proposed budget. If the funding bids succeed the curator will then deliver the programme.

FINAL EVENT OF EXHIBITION AS MEDIUM PROGRAMME AT CRATE! - SUNDAY 3 JUNE 3 - 6PM

RUTH BEALE, KAREN DI FRANCO, NO FIXED ABODE, NEAL WHITE

Crate presents the last event in the project spaces as part of the Exhibition as Medium programme.
You are invited to join us for a series of interconnected events on Sunday 3 June starting at 3pm. Artists Ruth Beale, Karen Di Franco, No Fixed Abode and Neal White present events devised over the last few months via a forecasting technique used during the Cold War called The Delphi Method. These events form the culmination of an anonymous collaborative discussion between the artists, with the curator acting as facilitator through the entire process.

The process of using The Delphi Method has allowed the artists involved to incrementally refine their ideas for Event Show, with the suggestion of 5 separate actions as part of one larger event.

They have FORMED A COMMITTEE and issue a summons to attend a WAKE between 3 - 6pm during which time there will be RITUALISED REFRESHMENTS, DIAGRAMMATIC ACTION, PERPETUAL REMEMBERANCE and the UNVEILING OF THE FOUNDATION STONE.

FISCHLI AND WEISS' THE WAY THINGS GO

6 APRIL @ 7.30PM
with an introduction by Jeremy Millar, author of The Way Things Go, published by Afterall Books.

EVENT SHOW / THE WAY THINGS GO / A WAY OF DOING THINGS is the final exhibition as part of the Exhibition as Medium Programme. It is a project that concentrates on collaborative working processes, focusing on research and discussion as major factors in the art-making process, rather than making and showing. It attempts to unravel working and thinking and push these often hidden processes public.
