"Projects happen and then go away, happen and then go away. That is fine, as long as they keep on happening. If they want to become stable and continue, they grow into something else and take on another role in the art world. It is sad when projects end but they are probably at their most interesting when they first begin."
– Ed Young 

Invited practitioners joined curator Khanya Mashabela in a roundtable conversation centred on artist-led project spaces and collaborative exhibition-making. The engagement formed part of Mashabela’s wider research project, Social, and took place in the Gallery during Common, extending the exhibition’s reflections on collective action and shared resources. Matthew Blackman and Ed Young (YOUNG BLACKMAN), Carol Khaas and Lebo Kekanna (FEDE), and Mitchell Gilbert Messina (Under Projects) contributed to the conversation.
