Explore Expand Exchange

Artefact Projects have commissioned six new works by artists and product designers that bring museum displays to life by telling good stories.

Explore Expand Exchange takes place in the Whitworth Art Gallery and the newly refurbished Manchester Museum from 29 November 2003 – 29 February 2004. By experimenting with low cost, temporary and innovative solutions to the problems of gallery and museum interpretation, Explore Expand Exchange will provide entirely new alternatives to dry factual explanations and technologically complex solutions beyond the budgets of many institutions.

The artists involved are Kuljit Chuhan, Sue Fox, Julie Fu, Johnny Magee, public works (Kathrin Böhm & Andreas Lang) and Mil Stricevic.

Explore Expand Exchange has been in development in collaboration with The Manchester Museum for three years and is funded by NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the Wellcome Trust and Arts Council England, North West. It is supported by the Whitworth Art Gallery.
