Thesis title:

The Incidental Artist approach: contemporary reworkings of the methods and legacies of the Artist Placement Group 1966-1989

My research will examine how the ideas and models developed by Artist Placement Group (APG) (1966-89) are both relevant today, and to future possibilities for the role of artists in society. Working with Flat Time House in London, Eastside Projects in Birmingham, my research and practice will evaluate contemporary experimental art projects, exploring how principles of regenerative design can generate new understandings of APG’s legacy
