Material : Public Works - The Bridge 2000

description

"In 2000, as part of the exhibition 'Protest and Survive', Hirschhorn built a bridge linking the Whitechapel Gallery and the Freedom Press Bookshop, which is located adjacent to the Gallery across Angel Alley in the East End of London. During the exhibition the he Freedom Press Bookshop, which was established in 1886 sells and publishes its own books and pamphlets on anarchism, became an extension of the Whitechapel and vice versa. The book is a fascinating document detailing the ideas behind the work, including interviews with the artist and curators of the work, transcripts of talks given about the Bridge and visitors impressions, as well as numerous official documents, press cuttings and photographs from the artist's own archive." -- publisher's statement. In grey plastic printed bag.
