Martin Westwood and Mick Finch have been working in collaboration with the Bilderfahrzeuge research network whose London base is at the Warburg Institute in London. The network sets out to explore the migration of images, objects, commodities, and texts, in short: the migration of ideas in a broad historical and geographical context and in relation to Aby Warburg’s legacy. So far the collaboration has entailed an exhibition at the Warburg Institute, essays produced from a visit to the CSM Study Collection, participation in Headstone to Hard-drive 3 at the British School in Rome. The collaboration is working toward a colloquium event at the Warburg Haus in Hamburg in June 2016 and an exhibition project for 2018. More information about Bilderfahrzeuge can be found at:
