Dive into the archive. Rummage there, amongst the papers and the past. Systems, structures, numbers, words: bureaucracy, documents, categories, knowledge. "Archive Fever, Archive Fever. We know how to do it," as Derrida's Bee Gee's covers group may perhaps have sung.

What? Oh yes, art. The splendidly entitled Making Ships in Bottles is an exhibition exploring the approach that contemporary artists take to the notion of the archive. How is information stored, categorised, understood, maintained and re-accessed? 

Curated by Claire Shallcross, artists including Gail Pickering and Olivia Plender explore these and otehr issues. Sounds like a cracker.

Until 20.06.10.
