Susan Hiller's commission is the result of a collaboration between the Journal and TheLaboratory, the research unit of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at the Universityof Oxford. It is one of eight commissions forming The Laboratory's Inserts project, whichpromotes cross-disciplinary dialogue and exchange through artists' interventions in the matterand discourses of academic journals and special interest magazines. Inserts commissions areintended to correspond with journals' existing production values and to celebrate the visualimagination as a fertile culture for the growth of new and challenging approaches tounderstanding contemporary life and experience. The project is supported by the ArtsCouncil of England and Southern Arts.
