From Bummock to tip : artists' interviews & items from the Lace Archive

This publication is the result of an artists’ research residency that used unseen parts of the Lace Archive in Nottingham as catalysts for the creation of new artworks. Andrew Bracey, Danica Maier and Lucy Renton spent two and half years rummaging, exploring and making. Critical texts by Pennina Barnett, Fiona Curran, Janis Jefferies, Sian Vaughan, alongside interviews with the artists involved, unpack the findings. This is part of a larger research project ‘Bummock: New Artistic Responses to Unseen parts of the Archive’. Like the Bummock – the largest part of the iceberg that remains hidden under water – archives often contain far more than is ever accessed. Bummock gives a platform for these stored and yet to be appreciated parts, and is developing alternative methods for researchers to access archives. This is the first of a series of publications that will collate the findings and artworks from residencies in different archives

hobbypopMUSEUM on Main Street

The artist group hobbypopMUSEUM (Sophie von Hellermann, b. 1975, lives and works in London; Marie-Céline Schäfer, b. 1967, lives and works in Zhaoqing, China; and Christian Jendreiko, b. 1969, Matthias Lahme, b. 1974, Dietmar Lutz, b. 1968, and André Niebur, b. 1973, who live and work in Düsseldorf) first came to public notice with a self-designed project at the old central post office in Düsseldorf in 1998. The piece was an early example of the collective’s characteristic approach: they like to work in interactive fashion and scrutinize the phenomena of the “museum” and the “exhibition” from a variety of angles. To this purpose, they employ a wide range of media: their ensembles incorporate paintings, sculptures, photographs, and video pieces in visually powerful installations. The artist group as a band touring the world of art and transforming any venue on its never-ending roadshow into a total play of art: that is the guiding idea behind hobbypopMUSEUM. The book, with essays by Oriane Durand, Andrew Renton, Benjamin Thorel, and Sam Watson, looks back on twenty years of hobbypopMUSEUM
