‘Lead (Zoo Art Fair)’, 2007, 300kg Lead Ballast in Twelve Ingots, Contract
Invited to remake ‘Lead’, 2006, for the Associates booth at Zoo Art Fair, 300kg of lead was sold for its material value and the collector entered into a contract governing the exhibition rights and future value of the work. ‘Lead’ can only be sold for the value of its raw material plus the shipping costs accrued in shipping it to and from exhibitions, for which the collector is always liable. When not being exhibited the ingots are stored by the artists – the collector can choose whether to destroy the work by selling the ingots for scrap at the material value.
‘Associates’, 2007, 157 Artists' Names, 3 Slide Projectors, Booklet
As part of ‘Temporary Measures’ (a 12-day series of 12-hour solo shows at Associates, London) 12 artists were invited to have a 1-hour solo exhibition, within which they were each asked to invite a further 12 artists to exhibit for 5 minutes each. No work changed hands, instead each artist's name was projected in turn over the course of the day, laying claim to the space to create 157 solo shows.

‘New Contemporaries’, 2006-ongoing
The Hut Project's ‘New Contemporaries’ is a collection of video interviews with artists who have exhibited in the annual New Contemporaries’ graduate competition, to be conducted by students eligible to apply for the competition as well as other invited artists and curators. All 478 artists who exhibited in New Contemporaries’ between 1989 and 2006 will be asked to select from a list of their fellow participants every artist of whom they are unaware. Every artist who has been marked as ‘unknown’ by any one of their peers will be invited to take part in an interview, and these selections will be used to index the resulting archive of interviews. The years that bookend the project correspond to the year of the competition's re-branding and the last year that The Hut Project were eligible to apply for it respectively. Through ‘New Contemporaries’ The Hut Project aim to investigate this significant period of change and growth in contemporary art.
