I am currently working on a project with Longhill School in Brighton that seeks to explore concepts of curatorship and presentation within schools. But that is just the tip of the iceberg, what underlies this project is a realisation of institutions as unconsidered psycho-geographies, where assumptions of environment have gone unquestioned for a very long time, and conditions appear to be based on old, punitive moralities.
Watch this space for a fuller explanation, and an ongoing documentation.
To kick things off we have converted all the common ways in the school into a gallery space - now we are running a limited curation exercise (intriguing in itself as a subject that is not normally found in schools). The Image above is one of hundreds that have been trawled for critique and possible inclusion in the project.
The Project runs in partnership with: L.C.P. Europe ~ Fabrica Gallery ~ Creative Partnerships, and of course Longhill High School.
