ARIs in Spaces and Places

For the second event of the British Art Network group: Artist-Run Initiatives in Britain, we will meet online to discuss artist run initiatives and their uses of space, how spaces are found and developed, how nomadic projects can work, and what happens when you lose a space.

We will host speakers involved in ARIs and related research from across the UK, allow time for questions, and have a discussion to gather experiences and thoughts from the audience.

Speakers:

• Arcade Campfa, Cardiff, Wales
• Catalyst Arts, Belfast, Northern Ireland
• Dr Emma Coffield from More Than Meanwhile project at Newcastle University, England

This is part of a members group running from 2023-2024, researching how ARIs have shaped and contributed to wider contemporary British art practice; how they relate to instituting in a wider art system; and how ARIs can form artistic lives and pathways.
