Curated by Leigh Clarke

No Letters investigates the dissemination of public information through various forms of reportage, carried out on both a local and a global level. Each contributing artist has made work that seeks to debunk the way we receive news of current affairs, gossip, advertisements and everyday instructions, revealing the truths obscured beneath the familiar yet effective tactics of distraction and deception employed by the media today.

Peter Suchin is an artist, critic and curator. He has contributed to numerous British and international journals, including Art Monthly, Art Press, Art Review, Frieze and Mute. As part of his contribution to No Letters, Suchin has included a miniature exhibition, Planchette, curated by Suchin in 2007 and presented within a mechanical display device or 'Pagivolt'. The selected artists are Vic Browne, Mik Godley (with Graham Lester George), Matt Hale, Lee Holden, Lizzie Hughes, Liane Lang, Stephen Lee, Pat Naldi, Sarah Sparkes, Jo Stockham, and Suchin himself. An explanation of the work is available in the exhibition.
