Here it is - the long awaited Sheffield Pavilion, printed out and ready to be distributed. The launch at the Venice Biennale is on Friday (Bar Margaret Duchamp, Campo Santa Margherita, Venice, Friday 8 June, from 8pm), and copies will also be distributed at Documenta in Kassel next week. I think copies will be on sale after that from the Cornerhouse Bookshop in Manchester, although I suspect Site in Sheffield will have a few too.
The HAG (Host Artists Group) project looks good, despite some over-eager cropping by the printers, and a slightly greenish cast to all the images. I guess you just have to take the rough with the smooth when the printing and layout are in someone else's hands. The work and the project look good, and the overall document is an excellent way of putting Sheffield's art scene on the international map.
