Clarets Creative project no.5 by Iain Broadley (above)
Five Lancashire-based artists have been selected to develop new temporary public artworks, to be presented during the Preston Guild celebrations in September 2012 – an historic event which takes place once every twenty years. The selected artists are David Henckel, Lisa Wigham, Iain Broadley, Jeni McConnell & Hannah Allan – who are working as a creative partnership called ‘Collaborative Space’. The artists were selected due to their collective track record of producing engaging artworks, which provide unique insights into the nature of place and community.
Over the following nine months, In Certain Places will work closely with the artists to develop new projects inspired by the social and physical characteristics of Preston. During this time, the artists will record their experiences on individual blogs, where visitors will be encouraged to leave feedback about the work.
