The shifts in art in Britain that took place in the 1980s were marked by two clear and often polarising drives. The first was postcolonial theory and the second was class identification. What effect do you believe these shifts had on The Showroom?

It seems like one of the great aspects of Margins is how it speaks to a very specific moment in time and space but at the same time draws paralleles to other moments (for example Australia and the UK in the 80s). How do you think that translates to the Australia/Chile relationship?

We have finished our archival research part last week but as a newbie there are still many unsure and uncertains, it would be so  great if you dont mind to review the exhibition(the Chile one), and we can double check our findings, e.g. after Showroom where it toured to (how many)? The Power Gallery seems closed 1 year after the exhibition... if a partner closed during correspending? There are not many photos of the exhibition, do you have any suggests that where can we find more? etc.
