A cumulative lists of all artists and projects involved in Nought to Sixty.
Nought to Sixty presents sixty projects by emerging artists based in Britain and Ireland over six months from 5 May to 2 November 2008.
Most of the artists in Nought to Sixty are under thirty-five, few of them have had significant commercial exposure, and in most cases this is their first opportunity to mount a solo project in a major public space.
The season is not intended to announce any new generation or style, but to build up a multifaceted portrait of the emerging art scene in the two countries, and to provide a space for exchange.
The Nought to Sixty programme consists of:

One of Belfast's most significant artist-led organisations.
Catalyst Arts was formed 15 years ago and - despite chronic under-funding - is one of Belfast's most significant artist-led organisations, best known for challenging the formal structures of curatorship. Realising experimental projects that break the mould of the artist-audience relationship, the organisation presents art as something to engage with or react to rather than something to consume. Catalyst runs the oldest biennial performance art festival in Europe, and during its existence it has hosted over a thousand artists at varying career stages from Northern Ireland and beyond. Catalysts' ethos is fundamentally non-profit and members-based. A directorship lasts two years, ensuring Catalyst's vibrant and youthful energy. Thus, Catalyst never learns from its mistakes and completely avoids stagnation. Recent and forthcoming presentations include The Garden Project (26 June-17 August), and an exhibition of work by Clive Murphy (opening 9 October).
