Launch of Figure Ground(20/05/2009) |
Figure Ground is organising a series of events for artists working in the public realm, to provide opportunities to network and collaborate, in locations around the South East. It is about artists working in public getting together and debating key issues relating to their practice, in a format that is open, participatory and creative. Figure Ground will use outside spaces as starting points for conversations, creating physical interventions as means for debate to emerge, so the events themselves are artistic processes. Figure Ground want to question the boundaries of practice in outside space, exploring where practice begins and ends. The events will take place around the South East region: Figure Ground is Katy Beinart, Jo Thomas, Jon Adams. We are a group of artists’ who came together as former recipients of Art Plus awards from Arts Council England.
