'The Last Newspaper' will be a hybrid exhibition
inspired by the ways artists approach the news and respond to the
stories and images that command the headlines. Alongside the exhibition,
a number of partner organisations (see list below)
will use on-site offices to present their research and stage public
dialogues, opening up the galleries as spaces of intellectual production
as well as display. (+ info...)
'THE LAST POST' / 'THE LAST GAZETTE' / 'THE LAST REGISTER'... will be an evolving-titled 12-page free weekly newspaper and an incremental exhibition catalogue edited during a 10 week editorial residency by Latitudes. Produced from a micro-newsroom on the third floor of the New Museum the tabloids will be distributed exclusively in printed format from the museum.
In part a programming and discussion space in itself, 'THE LAST POST'... will be an archive in formation companioning 'The Last Newspaper’s exhibition and events, as well as a critical reflection
on the wider agency of art and artists with respect to concerns about
how information is produced, managed, recorded, re-ordered, and
disseminated.
The tabloids, design directed by Chad Kloepfer, will be conceived by a specially-assembled editorial team and contributors who are giving their time and skills pro bono. The published record of the enterprise will be bound at the conclusion to form a surrogate catalogue. (+ info...)
