Description: An illustrated history of one of Australia's great contemporary art galleries. For over 13 years, Sydney-based MOP Projects was an essential and active player in Australia's lively network of artist-run-initiatives. Presenting the works of over 800 artists, curators and writers, this volume mops-up the dynamism of a time and place on the brink of great change. A launchpad for the careers of so many of Australia's leading artists, MOP championed experimentation, risk and play--its legacy as relevant now as it was then. 'MOP Projects: 2003-2016' is a beautifully dense and tactile paperback edition, foil-stamped in holographic patterns and custom typography. The volume presents a curated selection of work from the time, illustrated by over 1,000 images and accompanied by texts by some of Australia's foremost arts writers including Alex Bowen, Daniel Mudie Cunningham, Ann Finegan, Naomi Riddle and Michael Rolfe.
