Speech and What Archive? began on a floating house on a river in Chatou at the invitation of A Constructed World.
In Melbourne Flottante, we continue to consider what is kept and why it is kept, how things may be mapped, traced or stored, the possible shape and content of an archive, who may speak and what is kept unsaid, and generally what is privileged in culture so that it is available to the future.
The exhibition is composed of a presentation element, where objects that in some way act as archives will be exhibited at Y3K, and archive development, where the curators will work on methodologies of archiving and re-presentation for the duration of the show.
Speech and What Archive is a project of A Constructed World. This project was made possible with funding and support from Vision Forum and Linköping University; CNEAI, Chatou; Social Practice MFA Program, CCA, San Francisco; and Villa Arson, Nice.

A project initiated by Marco Fusinato and Y3K gallery. Have you ever stolen a book from a library, uni, Art school? A book that you couldn’t just borrow, something that just had to be yours? How does this relate to your practice now, or then? How does a practice translate the influence of art school and research? We are asking you for a book you have stolen from art school or another libraryinvolved in the progression of learning, of extending your practice. Regards Christopher L G Hill & Marco Fusinato
