Con.text is a unique audience engagement project devised by artist and writer Gini. Visitors were invited to take a comfy seat and chat about their own journeys and their thoughts on the 'The View from Here' exhibition, which took place at Salisbury Arts Centre from 9th November to 23 December 2011.

These conversations are the basis for poems and texts which accumulated in the space as gathering evidence of Gini's "sitting-in-residence." They were scrolled on a screen in the Cafe Gallery Space, and displayed in print as they evolved, in the main walk-through Gallery.

Conversation and words: Gini.
Exhibited work: Martin Bruch, Juan delGado, Aidan Moesby.
