The Rules of Exchange - Collaboration with Marcus Jefferies

The Rules of Exchange develops our interest in recording the way we work together in our collaborative practice. Taking place over four days in the dark space gallery at the Arnolfini Bristol, multiple installations were assembled and disassembled from imported studio materials, parts of old work, unrealised models, prototypes and discarded sculpture. These working sessions were recorded at regular intervals in film, photography, animation and by written documentation. The constructing of the work could be viewed by the public on a live feed from outside the gallery, and at certain times the space would be opened up for discussion.
