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:

An archival project, touring exhibition and online resource conceived and developed by Megs Morley.
The Irish Artist-led Archive - Sustainable Activism and the Embrace of Flux is an archival project, touring exhibition and online resource conceived and developed by Megs Morley, a practicing artist and curator. The project forms an ongoing investigation into artist-led initiatives in Ireland over the last 30 years. Posing an alternative approach, it examines the development of the visual arts in Ireland through one of the most turbulent eras of political, social and economic change. The project uses a variety of live archiving strategies to initiate dialogue and debate about artist-led culture, including roundtable discussions, performance artworks and word of mouth. Through the process of dialogue and exchange, artist-led groups have the freedom to continually develop and engage an evolving representation of their activities, rather than presenting a fixed definition of themselves within a permanent archive.
Why an institution of contemporary art(s) like this, and not any other?
Artist-led organisations that support networks of emerging art in England outside London.
