Archives as Medium by Revolv Collective

Archives as Medium is an interrogation of the notion of the archive through the use of photography, film and sculpture. 

Joint statement from Revolv Collective:

“In this exhibition, we recreate, reinvent and preserve the archive as a medium. From social, cultural and political documentation, to new lines of construction and appropriation, visitors will see the archive change and evolve through bodies of cultural, collective and personal creative work.”

Two free workshops will run alongside the exhibition: 

Friday 8^th September – Revolv will welcome visitors and creative professionals from Chrono Collective, Pupil Sphere and London Alternative Photography Collective to collaborate in the making of a zine. Featured artists and all involved in the production process will receive a free copy. 

Saturday 9^th September – Revolv will welcome Carole Evans, co-founder of Portrait Salon, Phil Serfaty, founder of Black Tower Projects, award-winning artist Felicity Hammond and educator Russell Squires, to provide valuable insights into, among other things, the world of curation, how to approach galleries, applying for grants, and the benefits of working in education. The talks will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session.
