CAAPO 2010
Project History:
In 2010, CAAPO were commissioned by The Cooperative to produce a public development project, as part of the Official Liverpool Biennial Programme 2010.
This took the form of a residency and exhibition. The residency was open to the public throughout the majority of its duration. The main aim: To expose the creative process and develop a series of works through public engagement.
Conceptual Background:
CAAPO are interested in creating works that explore the concept of mapping in an intuitive manner: Maps that transcend a graph of geographical location and become a subjective manuscript of belief and experience.
