The Copyists

Photo-text fold out produced in collaboration with CCW Reader Jo Melvin which related to ICA Symposium of the same name.

The Copyists publication reflected the themes and preoccupations which were the focus of the CCW Symposium The Copyists at The ICA, London devised and led by myself. The one day event included presentations and dialogues with leading curator & writer on photography David Campany (University of Westminster), critic Michael Bracewell & Tom McCarthy author of Satin Island, C and Remainder (two times Booker prize nominee) and UAL's own CCW Reader Jo Melvin.

The symposium and publication both focussed on works and discourses that centre and seek to critcally appraise recent artistic acts of republication and the proliferation of artists’ re-enactment and repurposing of existing cultural production.

The fold out photo text publication entitled The Copyists, L'Argent or The Forged Coupon included a new group of photographic works and a text by Jo Melvin exploring questions of authorship, originality and dissemination with regard to present day artistic and curatorial production.
