Exhibition: October 6 to November 27.
Community without Propinquity* is a project exploring the roles of contemporary art and communities in New Towns across the globe. The project included an exhibition, a video programme, six new artist’s commissions, a research laboratory, publication and symposium on the 26 November.
I was commissioned to make a new piece of work for performance on the 26th November. The work is a short play called ‘Community’ that is based on a series of interviews and research into the policy, strategy and delivery of community in Milton Keynes. The play is 4 acts long and is to be enacted without announcment during a social occassion within the gallery. Written for a solo actor the protagonist enacts the work through conversation with people, embodying the perfect community member as constructed through city planning doctrine.
This work was performed at MK gallery on 26th November by professional actor John Jack.
