This publication develops out of a work produced for the
Protest & Survive exhibition at the Whitechapel
Gallery, which involved the construction of a bridge between the
gallery cafe and the adjacent Freedom Press anarchist bookshop.
Such a project set out to open a dialogue about the relationship
between art and politics. The linking function of the bridge and
its remit as a 'communicative' device is intended to be continued
by this publication.
Modelled on a French government document, this book aims to reveal
both the structure of the bridge and the process of artistic
production as a mutual activity. Through the reproduction of
correspondence and dialogue between the various parties the hidden
support systems of production become transparent.
