Introduction

176 Project Space are hosting Contested Ground, a two day curatorial investigation initiated by Curating students from Goldsmiths and the Royal College. There will be two whole days of events, screenings, exhibitions, talks, symposia and activity. On Saturday evening starting at 6pm we are having a Artist Disco, performances and DJing.

Results or outcomes are rarely left to chance; the indiscernible is unacceptable. This rejection of the unforeseen creates a closed system where predictability and predetermination are celebrated. In the name of embracing the unexpected and reinstating the importance and efficacy of chance, 176 will become a test site for curatorial experimentation and artistic productivity. In an environment which encourages overlapping, ‘competition’ for space and visibility, and forced interaction, the closed system of predictability is replaced by a space of potential where multiple outcomes are produced, questions are asked, and opinions are posited.
