2005
-2007 An ongoing series of events and interventions based around
an imaginary transnational corporation, BLACCXN. The website shows BLACCXN's commitment to the arts, indicating that we well understand the role of Culture in society. BLACCXN has a range of initiatives including, artists in corporate residence, our BLACCXN art £ollection, and the annual BLACCXN Prize4Culture. In the real world, one can buy shares and attend AGMs (Annual General Meetings) or come to one of our various public consultation exercises. |
