This catalogue is published to accompany 'Central Asian Project', the series of exhibitions resulting from an exchange program between the United Kingdom and Central Asia organised by Cornerhouse in 2007. Three UK-based artists—Dinu Li, Shona Illingworth and Ruth Maclellan—visited Almaty, Kazakhstan in 2006 for curatorial research, while four artists from Central Asia—Alexander Ugay, Vyacheslav Akhunov, Almagul Menlibayeva, Natalya Dyu—were invited by SPACE in London and Cornerhouse in Machester for an artist residency in 2007. 

The catalogue includes an introduction of the project by Kathy Rae Huffman, who also writes about the residency of Natalya Dyu and Almagul Menlibayeva in Manchester. Essay by Anna Harding and transcript of interviews with Ruth Mclennan, Alexander Ugay, Shona Illingworth, Dinu Li and Vyacheslav Akhunov are included. 

List of exhibitions, list of works, and brief artists' biographies are provided. Colour plates are accompanied with description of works. 

Please note that a DVD of the exhibited video work is available in the library.
