The project is initiated and curated by Kate Andrews under the collaborative identity of JaAliceKlarr projects in order to explore cross-disciplinarity stemming from creative interest in art-making, writing and a wish to extend this into the realm of 'creative curating'. Though JaAliceKlarr is the collaborative partnership between Kate Andrews and Louise Briggs- Briggs has not been involved in the production of this exhibition.
