"CCA is pleased to announce that Mason Leaver-Yap, Claire Potter, Karl Holmqvist and Jacob Wren have been commissioned to contribute texts for ‘No Title’, CCA’s ongoing public project with Sarah Pierce. ‘No Title’ is centred around Pierce’s interest in dementia, taking a creative and critical approach to ‘the community of dementia’ that departs from the typical artistic approaches of the therapeutic or diagnostic. The project continues the artist’s ongoing interests in narrative, collective memory, and constructions of community."

The Figure of The Lad is a reading performance that positions and investigates The Lad as a figure defined as an exterior. The performance draws on colour theory, ritualised gesture and sportswear to invoke and explore The Lad's surface.  

The exhibition _being being read being reading being read and reading beings_  is curated by Nathan Jones and Sam Skinner for Furtherfield gallery, London. It marks the publication of Torque #2: Reading.
