On Saturday 19th September 2009, 12-6pm, antepress will be presenting recent works and discussing strategies for collaborating with FormContent in fostering a dialogue between various exhibition formats and what constitutes art writing. This relationship will culminate in a publication released in 2010.
FormContent is a curatorial project space, initiated in 2007 by Francesco Pedraglio, Caterina Riva and Pieternel Vermoortel in London’s East End. Its mission is to create a space in which to experiment with ideas and exhibition formats, to foster an active collaboration between artists and curators while challenging their roles.

On leaving
______Clear views faced forwards, wide to the horizon.
___There were bone-rimmed holes, milk-coloured, and rust-rimmed
_____________________________________________They built a shell
__Succulent eyes were pulled backwards through these burrows, and narrow architectures were popped away from limb by limb.
The crisp edges of doorways form fades.
____________________________ Now it is brittle
____________________________ brittle waiting to be ground down, or smashed into fine sand beaches amongst all the other husks coughed up on the shore
______________________________________________All movement had been lateral
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Clear views faced forwards, wide to the horizon
There were rimmed holes, the rust-red eye-stalks of cannons watch blankly against blinkers
They built a shell knocked into the rocks and waited soft in the shadows for hard things to come and split them, flame licks and the mosquito whine of engines
Succulent eyes were pulled backwards through these burrows, and narrow architectures were popped away from limb by limb.
The crisp edges of doorways form fades.
