we came together
we came together
art that is rarely conceived with a museum or exhibition in mind, community projects, often run by collaboratives, that might go on for years, inviting participation more than traditional art appreciation
A Social Practice
Activity and Inquiry, responding to the context that we live in.
"Kin is an assembling sort of word"
Donna Haraway ---->
A Situated Practice
Through research, art, events and workshops, we ask:
*What does it take to commission and support work that is responding to specific places, communities and contextual situations?
*What intelligences and efforts are needed?
*How important is this work to our cultural identity?
*How does it contribute to the cultural heritage of a place?
*What combinations of factors make this work possible; artistic practice, collaborators, participants, the existence and creation of useful support structures, institutional supports, Local Authority supports, access to the latent organisational powers held within communities, access to the contextual intelligence of a place....
Human activity consists of action and reflection: it is praxis; it is transformation of the world... action and reflection occur simultaneously
