'Misc. Don.' - 2nd May to the 5th of June 2015.

Misc. Don. is a collaborative exhibition with Lincolnshire Archives and artists, hosted at The Collection’s Courtyard Gallery.

The exhibition explores the intriguing relationship between how an archive is defined, how it is categorised, how it is used by a multitude of people, and how artists respond to archives and archiving.

Misc. Don. works in conjunction with Lincolnshire Archives’ Miscellaneous Donations collection, also known as ‘Misc. Don.’. This collection contains a plethora of interesting paper-based artefacts, reflecting the multi-stranded definition of what an archive can be. For this exhibition, the 'Misc. Don.' collection acted as a catalyst for the featured artists’ work; the classification bringing forth a prospect and excitement of the unknown.

The artists featured in the show respond to a selection of two boxes from the ‘Misc. Don.’ collection; one ‘unseen’ box which is not visible to them and the other a ‘seen’ box, the content of which the artists have seen. These exciting artistic responses, alongside the loans from Lincolnshire Archives, will be the focus of the show, showcasing archives and archiving in countless ways.

Artists include:
Holly Bowler
Kate Buckley
Dayanita Singh

Elizabeth Wright
