about the exhibition
'Beyond the frame' is a local history project. It conserves a selection of paper based art works in five Essex museums.
The museums collect certain artworks as significant historical documents where artists highlighted aspects of their locality and era. ‘Beyond the frame’ commissioned five living artists, who live or were born in Essex, to work with each of the museums.
The artists helped to choose the paper based artworks for conservation and then produce responses in their own artforms using their personal understanding of local history. The new artworks, in turn, became part of the museums’ collections.
