Last week's talk

Last thursday we gave a presentation as part of What's art got to do with it?, "a one day set-piece event based around a discussion of the purpose, worth, and suitability of art in a housing context. The intention is not simply to laud what has been achieved over the last decade but to use the day as a means of critically examining arts’ role in place shaping and community capacity building". Organised by Bolton at Home’s % for Art Service, the day was very thought provoking and thoroughly enjoyable.
We were in very good company, talking alongside Laurie Peak - Head of Public Art at the Liverpool Biennial -, Wayne Hemingway, and Office for Subversive Architecture.
