Unfolding ~ Correspondent

We’re delighted to present Unfolding ~ Correspondent, an ambitious exhibition and publication project curated by Katherine Murphy.  The project brings together invited ‘correspondents’ – a group of artists, curators, writers, designers, and printmakers – to respond with the curator to DCA’s 2024-25 exhibition programme.

At the core of this project is an exploration of correspondence as a creative methodology and a gesture of care, connection, and community. The group of ‘correspondents’ include contributions by Amy Jones, Valerie Norris, Vivian Ross-Smith, Georgina Johnson, Dr Cat Dunn, Seán Elder, Scott Hudson and Dundee Print Collective.

Positioned between publishing and exhibition-making, Unfolding ~ Correspondent unfolds across Centrespace and in the pages of a specially commissioned publication—each activating and extending the other to create a shared space for exchange. The project considers publishing and exhibiting as interconnected practices: ways of making that foreground care, access, and the slow, deliberate labour that makes exchange meaningful. Through new commissions, collaborative reflections, and design interventions—sonic, printed, and tactile—it invites audiences to reflect on how communication, through letters, voices, and materials, can shape artistic practice, relationships, and creative exchange over time.
