Consolidated Catalogue 2007

Consolidated Catalogue 2007 by Yunnan artists, opening time: 25th Jan, 15:00 at TCG Nordica-UP Gallery.

This is a project with artists designing the content of catalogue together. It aims to provide a possibility for showing the rich character of artists.
There are four pages designed by each artist. After the designs are ready, they are bound together as a book. This we call “Consolidated Catalogue” and it presents individuality, creativity and designs by artists. We wish that more young artists will participate in this project. When it is finished, an opening will be held at TCG Nordica-UP Gallery where each of the pages will be exhibited to the public.
