part library part working studio

Intrepid archiving of the 628 (and counting) publications within the IPP's temporary collection continues, matched by dedicated enthusiasm from participants working within the gallery. Master archivist Siemon Allen has a show opening at the goodman this Saturday (17/08/2011), so there won't be a conversation hosted at Blank, details of events for next week to be confirmed soon.
