“8 Metaphors presents… the moving image practice of 8 artists, and interrogates their decision to write, commission and edit a book that encapsulates their work. Their contributions – which include texts, interviews, scripts and scores – are a series of metaphors for the making of work, and making meaning.” (LUX)

The book has been conceived by the artists of LUX Associate Artists Programme (AAP) 2010: Luke Fowler, Laura Gannon, Duncan Marquiss, Laure Prouvost, Grace Schwindt, Sam Stevens, Stina Wirfelt and Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa.

Contributors include: Mina Bancheva, Eric La Casa, Christoph Cox, Kate Davis, Lars Bang Larsen, Uriel Orlow, Dominic Paterson, Lee Patterson, Lis Rhodes, Deborah Stratman, Maija Timonen, Toshiya Tsunoda, Marina Vishmidt, Judith Williamson, Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz.
