Quarantine

is a group of people working together as artists and producers who are united by an interest in everyday life. Our work across performance and other forms deals with the politics and aesthetics of contemporary experience and how we relate to one another.  

Rooted in Manchester, England since 1998, we make and tour our work around the world.

Building of spines

A book is in the library and a library is in the book. Building of spines is a work-in-development by Quarantine, created by lead artist Kate Daley in collaboration with writer Ella Otomewo. It happens over seven days in a library. During that time a book is researched, written, edited, printed, and bound by hand.
