For eight days in February and March 2010 the Swedenborg Society will be staging a unique site specific and site responsive exhibition of artworks and text in its four story listed building in Bloomsbury, London.
Curated by Stephen McNeilly, to coincide with the Swedenborg Society’s 200th anniversary, Swedenborg House: Fourteen Interventions will feature the work of international artists and writers and a series of planned events, including an evening with Iain Sinclair, a lecture by the art writer Jonathan Jones, a performance by Ben Judd and work by Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller.
Making use of the Society’s unique library, lecture hall and archive, the exhibition will also include site responsive installations, photographs, displays of rare items, film and sound installations and a printed text. The exhibition is to be followed by a publication of essays and images.
