ABOUT THE COLLECTIVE

"This is Nowhere …and it's forever…" The world is spinning feverishly, yet is also static, stuck. Things happen, yet nothing actually seems to be happening. We are an artist-led collective. Our aim is to create a place to experiment and generate new thoughts and ideas in order to deconstruct the state of play. We are a nomadic collective without a fixed location, often appearing in temporary spaces. Sustained conversation and forms of collective dialogue are at the heart of our ethos.

John Wright, a research-led curator and PhD student in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, has been involved with The Retro Bar at The End of The Universe since its creation in 2014.
