Update (one week follow-up)

It is just over one week since we launched the CALM2008 distributed exhibition of 100 enveloped photographic artworks.

You can read about our approach here. Individual images can be viewed here:

Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We really are honoured, humbled and touched to have received such fantastically open responses to our risk enquiry. To read these and to join in and add your own response, click here.

On Monday 14 July, the CALM2008 team of Jamie, Jamie, Nicole, Adam, Eleanor and I will meet up to review and discuss possible next steps for this work.
