Other Plans
Published by Forma, 2006
Other Plans is curated by Simon Morrissey
Other Plans was initiated in response to significant regeneration projects in NewcastleGateshead UK and to bids for European City of Culture 2008. The two resulting artists’ bookworks by Juan Cruz and Michael Dean provide subtle critiques of projects that commission artists to respond to particular geographical locations or contexts.
For Other Plans, Dean and Cruz have produced two strikingly original new works that distinctly resist the idea of creating artwork that could be used to serve cultural agendas other than the artists’ own.
Bookworks
Juan Cruz – a translation of Niebla (fog)
Michael Dean – mountains and triangles
