SLICE Distribution, (SD) first intervention occurred as part of The Event 2011, and is an on-going and nomadic project, that emerges in different, mainly temporary contexts. SD disseminates its work through various means including exhibition, publication and on-line formats

SD’s aim is to present and critically reflect on a range of contemporary cultural production, including Art, Art criticism, Curatorial practice and Design. SD curates project’s, commissions work and collaborates with a variety of individuals and groups. It seeks to work with students, artists, critical arts writers, theorists, practitioners and social commentators from diverse fields of expertise.

B42 at SLICE Distribution, existed in a temporary location, at Minerva Works, in Birmingham, for a number of weeks. The centre operated as a distribution site, posting and handing out limited edition prints. A number of artists including, Mona Casey, Heike Heilig, Niall Singh, Ross Sinclair, Paul McAree, Jeffrey Charles/ Henry Peacock and Ryan McClelland were commissioned to respond to a curatorial brief. The artists each brought their individual take on the politically charged domain of secularism and religion.

B42 is the other name given to the Gutenberg Bible, the first major book printed using movable type in the Western hemisphere. 42, was the number of lines on each page, eventually printed within the bible.
