“Passing frozen explorers from the 1960s and 70s, new parties from the camps of art and writing have recently set out for a still poorly mapped disciplinary territory we might call the Conceptual North Pole: there, antiquated terms like ‘inspiration’ or ‘influence’ would give way to a cross-disciplinary poetics involving nominally shared though constantly remade strategies, structures, and terms – installation, site, document, procedure and history are just a few”.

Printed Project 14:  ‘the conceptual north pole’ encompasses new developments in conceptual poetry, meta-documentary; and artists who restage or reframe the idea of literature. Through a series of interviews with a range of visual and textual practitioners, The Conceptual North Pole explores a range of shifting categories and conceptualisations.
