Public Launch of the Social Art Map – 2nd December 2015Public Launch of the Social Art Map on 2nd December, 6pm at the Keynes Library, Birkbeck, University of London The Social Art Map acts as a starting point and resource for people interested in social art practice, including those engaged in producing, commissioning, curating, collaborating and participating. By using the contested term ‘social art’ we refer to contexts where artists work with people in the co-creation of a public outcome. Over a six-month period the research partnership between Emily Druiff (Peckham Platform) and Sophie Hope (Birkbeck, University of London) supported by funding from Creativeworks London, mapped the commissioning processes of social artworks across five different organisations in London including: AIR, CREATE London, Chisenhale, Peckham Platform and The Showroom. This has created an in-depth study of five art commissions from three different perspectives resulting in a Social Art Map. Please join us at the launch of the Social Art Map on 2nd December, 6pm – 8pm at the Keynes Library, Birkbeck, University of London, 43 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PD by RSVPing to info@peckhamplatform.com by the end of November. |
