Lines Towards Another Century, takes as its starting point,
a list of the national boundaries created during the 20th Century.
Since 2003, Tom Nicholson has used this list as the basis of a number
of projects including a series of banner marches (realised as
participatory performances) and exhibitions that document and extend
this material through video, drawing and photography. The list forms a
mnemonic ordering system as the lines of the boundaries are traced onto
contemporary cities, and translated into contemporary contexts.

In Lines Towards Another Century at The Holburne Museum,
the list and its potential for action come together in an installation
that combines live and recorded sound and performance, opening with a
performance by The Elysian Quartet
