Centrifuge
Developing ideas at the Salford Restoration Office
Centrifuge is an extensive collaborative project based on research, discussion, critique and travel. It took as its starting point a trip to Documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany, August 2007 and has continued to develop since through on-going dialogue between approximately twenty artists based throughout the north of England.
Through this process we have negotiated a discursive international art prize for which a shortlist of artist and non-artist nominees has been raised by the group. The eventuality of the art prize has been left open to negotiation with the nominees, thereby extending the parameters of the discussion and the collectivity that is central to it.

This map will continue to be updated to document the movement of the group of artists contributing to Centrifuge . Our location and relocation from our living and working situations as artists based throughout the North of England has been central to our collective discussion, ideas and critique, and to the development of an Internationally focussed art prize.
