The Zabludowicz Collection is pleased to host The Andrew Project book launch, by artist Shaan Syed with an in-conversation between Stuart Cumberland (painter) and Darian Leader (psychoanalyst) exploring ideas and experiences of ‘absence’. The book's contributors include Ruth Claxton, Chris Fite-Wassilak and Nicholas Muellner, among others.

The Andrew Project involved the artist pasting over 1000 hand drawn posters of a man, accompanied by the name ‘Andrew’, in Toronto, Berlin and London, between 2010 and 2013. The publication documents the evolving surfaces of these posters, especially those where the image has been obscured through graffiti or worn away. The publication also includes contributions from:

William Anskis, artist
Ruth Claxton, artist
Stuart Cumberland, artist
Chris Fite-Wassilak, writer
Jeffrey Kofman, foreign correspondent for ABC
Scott Leonard, Branding consultant and founder of “Champion Agency”
Nicholas Muellner, artist
Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, artist
Jeanine Woollard, artist

Our current exhibition Painting from the Zabludowicz Collection Part II will be open for viewing during the event.

The event is FREE. Places are limited so booking is recommended.

The publication is co-published by FormContent and S1 Artspace and supported by Arts Council England, The Elephant Trust and private donors. Copies of the book will be for sale at a special launch price.
