Figure Ground Events(03/09/2009) |
Figure Ground Events for artists working in the public realm MK: Friday 6th November Figure Ground* is an artist led organisation which has developed these events around the South East region to encourage creative debate on what it means to practice in the public realm. Applications are invited from artists who consider their work to come under the broad umbrella of public art to participate in one of the four events. Artists are asked to bring elements of their own practice and thinking to the events. Artists will be collaborating with each other and responding to sites, with the aim of exploring issues around practice, sparking networks and ideas, and contributing to critical debate about the role of public art. There are 50 places available for each event and priority will be given to artists based in the South-East, but others are welcome to apply. Tickets cost £10 and include lunch and refreshments. There are 10 bursary places per event which cover the ticket cost (£10) and offer a travel bursary of £25.
