Village is proud to present ’we were here but not for long’ a collaborative project by Corey Bartle Sanderson and Sam Blackwood.
The publication highlights images taken alongside the production timeline of sculptural items and materials collected in the studio between 2019-2023, the book acting as an archive of this, with a with a fold-out index containing all the objects and reference material.
This publication is made to accompany the exhibition of the same name, opening at Village in August 2013.
‘we were here but not for long’ is an exhibition of sculptural works and an accompanying book, influenced by public spaces, architecture, human interventions and crap inventions, closed shops, regeneration, unrealised ideas, archived failures and expirations.
The show is a way of working with failures or ideas that have amounted to nothing, celebrating reuse, a new life, reimagining possibility. Archiving becomes process, through the gathering of materials which eventually inform narratives.
