2012 consists of twelve works, twelve artists and twelve exhibitions.  
In each month of 2012 an artist will be invited
to present one new work at The Mews Project Space, London.
In showing twelve works individually through out a year the project  
will take the form of a group exhibition that slowly
metamorphoses over time. Simultaneously, each installment also  
represents a one-work exhibition and an insistence on an
encounter with an individual artwork. In our age of chronic  
information overload, which manifests itself in the art world
through biennials, large-scale museum exhibitions and art fairs, the  
need to pause and consider an individual artwork in
greater depth is a timely proposition.

The beginning of 2012 represents the initiation of a thought process  
rather than a result of one, with decisions being made
as and when it is needed. 2012 is an artwork-centered project  that  
has no predetermined theme and participating artists will
be confirmed as the year unfolds. The project is in part a response to  
curating becoming an increasingly discursive
discipline in which greater emphasis is placed on themes rather than  
artworks. 2012 adheres to the principle of making an
exhibition to discover what it might be about and celebrates intuition  
through structures that evolve over time.
