ROM- Read Only Memories exhibition until 8 Oct 2002

Currently showing in Watermans Gallery, London is Read Only Memories - an exhibition of seminal works spanning ten years of art on CD-ROM. On display is Pedro Meyer's I Photograph to Remember (1992) the first ever CD-ROM to contain continuous sound and images. With BlindRom (1993), Anti-rom (1995) and John Maeda's Reactive Square (1995) we see a shift in the way artists began to exploit the interactive capabilities of the CD to a much greater degree. The exhibition reflects of the most recent piece of art on CD Insert Silence (2001) from two artists who mainly produce work for the web.

Free Admission. Gallery open till 9pm every night.

Susan Collins has initiated a development programme for a Tate in Space. At this stage of the programme, the Tate in Space website is the key route through which members of the public can follow developments, witness the architectural process, and follow the notional Tate Satellite orbiting earth every 92.56 minutes. The site explores ways in which a Tate in Space might extend visitor experience and engage new audiences. Tate in Space online will act as an arena for debate and reflection on the nature of art in space, raising questions about cultural and institutional ambition and the very human desires to observe and communicate.See http://www.tate.org.uk/space/

Alongside these new works Tate has commissioned supporting texts. Paul Bonaventura will examine Susan Collins’s project. Josie Berry will provide a contextual overview for the works. These texts will be available on the Tate site on 1 July 2002.

Heath Bunting will develop a new work in a series that is currently underway at www.irational.org/borderXing/. In this series, he carries out border crossings in Europe, locating specific national boundaries and undertaking walks that traverse them without interruption from customs, immigration, or border police. The walks are documented with notes and photographs. Bunting’s walks recall the work of Hamish Fulton and Richard Long and can be seen as contributing to the tradition in conceptual art that takes as its subject themes of landscape and space. Crucially though, these walks question political, economical and juridical aspect of travel. The work will continue to develop throughout the year.

Tate has also commissioned a supporting text by Florian Schneider which will be on the Tate site from 1st July. http://www.tate.org.uk
