AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When it comes to curating issues, what interests me most is the resonance of a work. Such a resonance can be experienced as a trace which is carried across an issue, informing how the singular works interact. This trace may harden and crystallise or dissolve into another substance under the pressure of a particular narrative. Salt felt like a fitting theme in terms of this image of a trace, and the idea of an issue constituted of membranes, parts interconnected to create a fluid, osmotic whole.' (Zoe Kingsley : Editorial introduction)
