(ON) ACCORDANCE was a collaboration between Grand Union and or-bits.com, exploring the possibilities of working across sites of production and distribution through the presentation of new online commissions and offline versions of web-based artworks.
While we launched the online exhibition Accordance, Grand Union presented a gallery exhibition of artworks on display on or-bits.com (1 December 2012 – 19 January 2013).
(ON) ACCORDANCE presented offline versions of a selection of artworks produced for previous or-bits.com online exhibitions. Five artists, Irini Karayannopoulou, M+M (Marc Weis and Martin De Mattia), Rosa Menkman, Damien Roach and Richard Sides, and their respective artworks were selected by Grand Union curators in response to the Accordance editorial.
