Pack*Art, 2018 - 2024
A six-year neighbourhood exchange on extraordinary inner London housing estate twice demolished and rebuilt in less than fifty years. Made in public cooperation and collaboration, artworks were things to notice and prompts for unexpected conversations between neighbours and strangers. What is an ‘art that comes to meet us’? Where are the edges of place in an increasingly digital world? What does this particular local reflect about the bigger picture in times of climate crisis, global pandemic, austerity and Brexit? more

A real Job is to make something, 2018
As Wearite’s factory on West Green Road closed after forty years of manufacturing duvets, sleeping bags and country clothing, a real job highlighted a place and community of work, and considered the value of making things in present times. Devised and curated with Margot Bannerman. more
Unannonced Acts of Publicness, 2015
Over the month of May ten artworks appeared unannounced on ten days in Granary Square. After each day passed, nothing of the act remained. Unannounced Act of Publicness was devised to probe the meaning of ‘public’ in privately owned public spaces and to offer alternatives to the contemporary conditions of publicness – a testing of the possibilities of trust, invitation and conversation. Co-curated with Dean Keaning and Tilly Fowler. more

A summer of art with Mud Island, an isolated neighbourhood in the Royal Docks. The works sought to open up possibilities, to precipitate surprise, delight, and public luxury, and to make North Woolwich more visible both to itself and beyond.

A Million Minutes, 2011-14
A programme of public processes by artists in a local place. For two years, approximately one million minutes, artists were commissioned to spend time in a small neighbourhood and to make new work in response to being there. Curated and produced with Tilly Fowler and Pete Courtie in a partnership between Islington Council and Central Saint Martins.
Cally Calls, 2013
Seven artists were paired with people who live and work in the Cally - a postman, a retired solicitor, an unemployed young woman, a playworker, a group of female pensioners, a caretaker, and a café owner. Works were made responding to these conversations that explored how a place is defined by the lives lived there.
