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:

The discussion looked at new models and emerging forms of connectivity within the system of art presentation. Speakers included Anna Colin from Gasworks, Joe Scotland and Sarah McCrory from Studio Voltaire, and Emily Pethick from The Showroom.
Monday 14 July
July's discussion was organised by Dr Paul O'Neill and Mick Wilson whose practices span art, curating, writing and teaching. The event explored the significance of a recent 'educational turn' in criticism, art and curatorial practice, one that has directly addressed the state of art education, and the pedagogical as a curatorial model.

Monday 25 August
August’s debate interrogated the re-emergence and effectiveness of the Salon as a mode of private discourse. Miss B led a discussion on the significance of the ‘private salon’: asking whether it was evidence of increasingly visible social networks, or a dynamic closed forum in which to develop discourse and share ideas. Participants were Miss B (Chair), Sebastian Craig (i-cabin), Russell Martin (artist and Artquest Programme Co-ordinator), Jen Thatcher (curator, writer, and Director of Talks at ICA), Markus Miessen (writer and architect), Bettina Pousttchi (artist).
