Index is now open with the exhibition Editorial Thinking. Presenting artist works and publications edited with artistic intuition by Rosa Barba, OEI, Pontus Pettersson, Alex Reynolds, The Book Lovers, Praun & Guermouche, Editorial Thinking proposes a way of thinking about artistic processes with an editorial lens.

 Together with Anne Klontz, Index hosts the three-part workshop Editorial Board which departs from the idea that a book can be a site for an exhibition.

During three sessions, we will explore the possibilities for activating the artworks, performances, subjectivities, emotions and physicality one experiences within the space of visiting an exhibition through pens or keyboards, facts or fiction, synonyms or antonyms, and infinite narratives. Work with writing and development of content will be emphasized in each session.

The workshop is limited to 8 participants and will take place at Index on March 12, 19 and 26, 16:00–18:00. Interested participants can sign up via RSVP@indexfoundation.se

Editorial Board is co-organized together with the Index Team and curator/editor Anne Klontz.
