6 Projects Selected

The final six artists have been selected and we are looking forward to the development of their projects. Those selected were:

• Clare Thornton who will work with a range of tailors, outfitters and other textile related trades to collectively research and produce objects and/or live social events.
• Chris Dyson who will work with an industrial company to put on and document a drive-in cinema event.
• Debbie Lawson who will create an artwork involving fellow journalists that is not just physical but also escapist and surreal.
• David Yu who will create an installation inspired by conversations between staff and patrons in a pub or bar setting.
• Ange Taggart who will work with those involved in childcare and support to develop a performance were play is a key concept.
• Pippa Koszerek who will work with secretaries to explore the tools of their trade through a lunch club which will result in a series of artworks .
