EVENT: RANDOM Archive exhibition - Opening Event Thursday 1st June 6-8pm

The Random Archive is a collaborative exhibition project taking place over 2 sites, Bury Art Museum, and MMU Special Collections Gallery.

Curated by Susan Lord and Dr. Hannah Allan, the Random Archive exhibition features the work of national and international Language Artists which is part of Bury Art Museum’s unique Text Art Archive. Random Archive attempts to push boundaries by questioning how an archive can be viewed, accessed and explored. This is a unique opportunity for visitors to get up close in a gallery setting to a collection which is usually kept in store, the public will be encouraged to interact with it and explore it afresh.

Working with Dr. Panayiota Vassilopoulou the Philosopher in Residence and artist Rachel Defay-Liautard the exhibition takes a look at new ways of thinking about what an archive could be in the future. The exhibition is made up of an Archive Maze, hands on Bibliomancy Section, a Digital Archive and a Reading Room which will involve invited artists and writers and will evolve over the course of the exhibition.

Random Archive’s sister show Tricking the Impossible at MMU Special Collections gallery will examine the collaborative relationship between the author Penny Rimbaud (former member of the English Punk band Crass) and publisher Christian Brett through their work with radical book publisher Bracketpress.

Running alongside the exhibition are a series of free workshops and a symposium funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. These explore how to care for community archives, how to establish a DIY/Feminist archive, how to catalogue an LGBTQ archive and how to create a digital archive.

The Random Archive exhibition has been made possible through funding from Arts Council England
