"In December 2011 the CCA will dedicate its major spaces to a two-week programme that will develop its support for writing and publishing within contemporary art practice. This programme will review the progress of 2HB in the form of an exhibition, ... an events programme and place this activity in the broader context of an international book fair where we can consider how books travel and how we travel through books. ... It has felt like the quality and diversity of artistic practice in Glasgow has been accelerated by art writing and journal publishing, as if the intelligence and sensibility of artistic practice in the city has been harnessed to a new force. ... So, we are wondering what kind of cultural motor is independent publishing in Glasgow and how does writing act as a motor within the artist's own practice?"
