beyond words: TRANSMEDIATING MURAKAMI HARUKI Long Gallery & Atrium Newcastle University, UK March 2018 Akiko Fujimoto Christopher Jones Anna Macrae James Quin Petra Szeman Yuasa Katsutoshi   Group exhibition curated by Christopher Jones to accompany the international conference on Murakami's literature and its translation, 40 Years with Murakami link
"In initiating this exhibition as part of the larger research project, Gendering Murakami Haruki: Characters, Transmedial Productions and Contemporary Japan, the aim has been two-fold: first, to shed light on the ways meaning is created as we read literary text and the process we must take before a literary text can travel to another medium; second, to create a visual dialogue with and about Murakami Haruki, one of the world's most well-known writers of contemporary Japanese literature" Dr. Gitte Marianne Hansen Lecturer in Japanese Studies in the School of Modern Languages Newcastle University, UK

Two related interations of Paper, Table, Wall & After took place, first at Gallery North, Newcastle in December 2014 and second at the university gallery of NTUA, Taipei in December 2015. For the second exhibition artists were invited to make works on paper capable of being folded to the size and proportion of a standard ordnance survey map.

Christopher Jones the palatability of incompatability 2 2015 42 x 30 cm Folded digital print on hanhnemuhle paper, dye sublimation print & found material
"The provisional, but vital, stages of making artworks; the fluid open-ended possibilities for their interpretation through display; the uncertain destinies that await all material artefacts, however precious – these often disconnected moments in the ‘life story’ of an art object are the topic of these exhibitions co-curated by Chris Dorsett and Sian Bowen from Paper Studio Northumbria. It explores not only how contemporary artists utilise the special properties of paper but also how the passage of paper-based artworks across studio tables and gallery walls can lead to an unknown 'after', a contingent world only tentatively related to the immediate concerns of viewing an exhibition"
