PLaCE international

Description

PLaCE International is a research collective of creative, practice-led individuals who address issues of site, location, context and environment at the intersection of many disciplines and practices. PLaCE International is Co-Directed by Mary Modeen and Iain Biggs.

​

Since its inception, PLaCE International has been committed to investigating, re-imagining, and re-invigorating the following areas of concern:

·       curating in and out of place;

·       site-specificity and situated practices;

·       creative intersections with urban and rural geographies;

·       interdisciplinary approaches to renewal and the environment generally;

·       and the intersections of memory, place, and identity –

through research projects, creative programmes, community projects, education, activities, conferences, collaboration and international partnerships.

​

PLaCE International pursues this mission in the context of the continual redrawing of boundaries - between art, design practices, socially-engaged research projects, their theorization, and congruent disciplines and practices. It recognizes the centrality of environmental issues and sustainability to art, media and design education – seen as a vital interface between individuals, society and the world as environment - by working collaboratively and by feeding research back into education, scholarship, and local areas.
