Project/Number presents Foam, an on-going peripatetic project by artist Mat Jenner. Conceived as both a platform for experimental commissioning and an expansive artwork, Foam explores the condition of the contemporary art object and its problematised relationship to spectatorship, dissemination, presence and display.

At the heart of Foam is a growing archive of dub plates, one-off 12” records commissioned from over 100 invited artists, including Alice Theobald. The archive is presented within strict parameters that emphasises the record’s collective status as art objects and their potential as a performative body: – records are unique, they can only be listened to in situ within P/N’s physical location and are not replicated, broadcasted or digitally disseminated.

At P/N the archive will be installed in the gallery space. To provide a visual counterpoint to the audio pieces, Jenner will present a new wall based work and undertake a treatment of the street facing light-box, continuing P/N’s on-going series of light box commissions.
