"Black White & Read is the first of a planned long-term project to produce collections of artworks in printed-form as a kind of exhibition-publication. Distribution is important for this project, which is printed inexpensively on newsprint to be easily carried, sent and stored. This first issue, How Can You NOT Make Work About the Internet? features the work of Carla Adams, James Cooper and Amy Hickman whose practices explore the transmission and storage of human information through the internet." - Melissa McGrath, August 2015
