Midpointness is an evolving curatorial and artistic project that explores ways in which works of art might be understood as ‘being in the midst’; a place W. T. J. Mitchell has usefully described as an “inescapable zone of transaction”.

When is something finished? When might something begin? Midpointness explores these questions through a performative process of exhibition making in which artists and curators are present throughout. The project will begin with an exhibition of work by selected artists, which is then dismantled and constantly reconstructed, re-imagined, re-classified and augmented throughout the exhibition by curators, artists, students and gallery visitors.

An integral part of the project is a series of events and workshops that will shape and inform the evolution of the exhibition. These events will include talks, reading groups, critiques, artistic interventions and hopefully responses hitherto unimagined!
