Representing the Possible was published to accompany an exhibition by Stephen Willats at Victoria Miro, London, in spring 2014.

Throughout his career Willats has situated his pioneering practice at the intersection between art and other disciplines such as cybernetics, systems research, learning theory, communications theory and computer technology. In so doing, he has developed a collaborative, interactive and participatory practice grounded in the variables of social relationships and settings.

Representing the Possible brings together previously unseen works on paper from the 1960s and the present day in a specially conceived installation. Comprising four large-scale site-specific wall drawings, the installation transformed the gallery’s architecture into an immersive drawn environment with 37 individual works on their surfaces.

A first for the artist on this scale, the installation was designed to be experienced as a single work, with each drawing providing a variable, dynamic exchange between the viewer and their surroundings.
