“Amongst other things an unsuccessful proposal for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad”, 2012

Amongst other things an unsuccessful proposal for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad has been produced by artists Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan to accompany three realised projects and one unrealised proposal. The projects, with Eastside Projects in Birmingham, CCA in Glasgow and Collective in Edinburgh, are situated between, and use, performance, literature, institutional critique and curation.

The publication continues the artists’ dialectical approach to art practice; re-working the images and documents generated by the four projects to consider, amongst other things, the role and function of contemporary art in the public sphere.
