This exhibition occurred with the historic event of a EU membership referendum in the UK, with a vote to leave. Students from ten different countries could not ignore this event in their final exhibition. So in the aftermath, and in a new landscape of volatile reactions and political unrest, they set about their task by making DaDa poems and using free association and group exercises, in response to sets of controls. Word mixes emerged, evoking: borders, cities, homes, work, and education, travelling, splitting, sharing and belonging. Proposed titles included: Border Beach, Jukebox Skyscraper, Ever Island, and Salad Bowl Resistance. This resulted in the decision to borrow a Lawrence Weiner work as a title. This was a homage but also recognising something potent which is greater than the moment, that is, the legacy of conceptual art that has cut radically into history and recognises the powerful and embedded relationship of thinking, making and politics.
