In Present Company

A two part research project which culminated in a series of artists'interventions realised at Freightliners Farm near Caladonian Road over 2 days in June.
Intended to pragmatically investigate ‘place-based’ practices with a view to an ongoing exchange, the exploratory week scoped the viability of Freightliners, as a partner for future projects with CSM Fine Art as well as a potential site for ongoing artists’ residencies. The artists used the farm as a studio over a week in April with the interest in allowing the artists processes of experimentation, play, testing to be encountered by visitors and trainees at the farm. Formalized reflection on strands of practice deployed in this project are intended to contribute to ongoing discussion about how artists can find ways of working in response to locality.
