book cover
This Will Not Happen Without You: From the collective archive of the Basement Group, Projects UK and Locus+ (1977-2007) is a comprehensive overview of significant and controversial artistic activity coming out of the north east of England since the mid 1970s. Taken from the Locus+ archive, it extensively documents the artistic practice carried out by the organization and its previous incarnations: The Basement Group and Projects UK. Highlighting performances by artists such as Bruce McLean, Stuart Brisley, Mona Hatoum, Alastair MacLennan, and Andre Stitt, as well as projects by Richard Wilson, Stefan Gec, Chris Burden, Cornelia Hesse Honegger, Anya Gallaccio, Mark Wallinger, Simon Patterson, Nathan Coley, and Layla Curtis, this lavishly illustrated publication has the critical underpinning of some of the best writers on contemporary art today. Accompanied by anecdotal texts by artists commissioned by the three organizations, This Will Not Happen Without You is an extraordinary documentation of the changing artistic, social, and political landscape in contemporary art over the last three decades.
