Project Space
The project space runs an arts programme that includes exhibitions, events and performance, and shares many ideas relating to publishing, with regards to the distribution and dissemination of material. The programme hosts a series of talks by artists, writers, and theoreticians, that are open to all. A selection of these are hosted on the website. A reading group regularly meets at the reading room and project space with an interest in artists printed material, commissioning artists readings throughout the year. The publishing forum and critical framework group, that meet once a month, are peer-led and publish an annual critical journal from Banner Repeater. Artworks developed by artists working at Banner Repeater are available to download for free from the website. The website was archived by the British Library Web Archiving Programme 2011. == References ==
