Locating the Producers
Date uploaded: January 21, 2009
Locating the Producers was a major three-year curatorial research and public events programme 2006 – 2010, which investigated how public art and its curation has begun to recognise the significance of engaging audiences and encouraging research-based outcomes that are responsive to their specific contexts, audiences and locations over time.
The curatorial research focused specifically on five relevant European projects at different stages in their temporal development: The Blue House (Het Blauwe Huis), IJburg, The Netherlands (2004–2009); Beyond, Leidsche Rijn, The Netherlands (1999 –2009); Trekroner Art Plan, Roskilde, Denmark (2001–present); Creative Egremont, Cumbria, UK (ongoing since 1999) and Edgware Road Project, London, UK (2009–2011). This research project was initiated in response to a call for cross-collaborations between industry and education partners. The Great Western Research initiative provided funding for a three-year research fellowship (Paul O’Neill) led by Situations in partnership with Dartington College of Arts (which subsequently consolidated with University College Falmouth) and ProjectBase in Cornwall.
