fig-1 – 50 Projects in 50 Weeks

An archive box of "fig-1", a project held at the temporary housing "Fragile House" located in Soho, London.

"fig-1" was a project that established itself in a relatively short period of time among the many small white cube galleries in London. Curator Mark Francis and White Cube founder Jay Jopling held 50 one-week exhibitions at the venue. To keep it as flexible as possible, the program was set up a few weeks in advance and showcased the work of architects, writers, designers, musicians and artists. Divided into 50 sections, the book chronicles each project in the words of the participants through interviews, essays and visual documentaries. There are also portraits of each artist taken throughout the year, as well as photos from Monday night's opening party, which has become a cult SoHo event over the past year.
