The Pest Office archive is coming along nicely. It holds information on all the artists that have contributed to the Pest publications, plus organisations and groups we have visited. All the information is on display for visitors to look through.
PEST is a series of three limited-edition publications which will explore how artists appropriate, intervene and work within different places, spaces and contexts. The publications are the outcome of a 6-month international research project by Preston-based artists Rebecca Chesney, Robina Llewellyn and Elaine Speight, who became interested in how artists can work within alternative spaces after organising Prestival (www.prestival.org.uk), a public exhibition and artist networking event which took place across Preston city centre in July 2007.
PEST publications will present artist-led projects initiated in Domestic Spaces, Museums & Archives and Social Spaces. Each publication will be produced in collaboration with other artists who have been invited to present or instigate new projects within the space, and they will be launched by events in Preston and elsewhere. For more information about the project, including details of how to order the publications, please visit: www.pestpublications.org.uk .
Pest is supported by Manchester Castlefield Gallery, through their 'Project Space' scheme.
