Exhibition and talks from by Will Self and Profesor Jphn Read John Baldessari – Matthew Buckingham – Sophie Calle – Marc Camille Chaimowicz – Moyra Davey – Luke Fowler – Gillian Wearing – Catherine Yass The modern city has frequently been identified through its intensity – a busy and bustling environment of potentially creative and productive activity.
