Five artists selected for new temporary public art commissions during Preston Guild celebrations
In Certain Places have announced that five Lancashire-based artists have been selected to develop new temporary public artworks which will be presented during the Preston Guild celebrations in September 2012. The selected artists are David Henckel, Lisa Wigham, Iain Broadley, and 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 next 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 connected to the In Certain Places website, where visitors will be encouraged to leave feedback about the work.
