Create’s Networking Day 2015, held at IMMA, focused on the complex question of support for collaborative practice. How do commissioning bodies take into account the processual nature of durational, collaborative work which engages directly with people and places? What would the optimum institutional frameworks of support for collaborative practice look like? For a socially engaged artist, is entering the Museum inevitably a form of institutional capture? What freedoms might the public sphere offer? Can artists be embedded within civic structures and remain critical?
This video gives a taste of the day, filled with presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities.
From February 8 to 13 2016, Create and Callan Workhouse Union worked with Madrid based architects Todo Por La Praxis to present a CPD workshop in Callan, Co Kilkenny as part of the Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme. The Youth Urban Design Workshop was a week-long series of workshops with TXP and a group of young people from Callan and surrounds, which explored diverse and unconventional ways of activating public space for young people in a small rural town.
Artist Jesse Jones talks about The Prosperity Project (OPW and The Convention Centre Dublin) and the way she has approached this collaborative public art commission through both engagement with an elective community, research based practices, video and performance.
The Prosperity Project by Irish artist Jesse Jones, in collaboration with associate artists and thinkers, is a significant public art commission for The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD), a landmark building in Dublin’s Docklands area. The commission is funded by The Office of Public Works and managed by Create, the national development agency for collaborative arts.
