Using archival materials associated with Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan’s site-specific installation and summer school, ‘The Indirect Exchange of Uncertain Value’ (Collective/Fettes, Edinburgh, 2011), this book chapter (published 2017) discusses the work of the participating artists and speakers (including Tatham & O’Sullivan, Chris Evans, Elizabeth Price) and presents a new essay by Prof. Richard Williams (ECA) in the context of Collective’s move to a new location in Edinburgh. Collective wished to rethink their physical and cultural position within the city, and this Chapter instrumentalises a particular project archive with this in mind, adding the weight of deep associative connections and suggestions formulated through literary and historical allusions to extant materials.
