What is socially engaged practice? Littoral art. A whole section in the dissertation on this one.
I have come across this artist collaboration pairing which may go some way towards explaining
Cornford and Cross http://www.cornfordandcross.com/
and this forum
Variant http://www.variant.org.uk/events/event1.html
as well as
Littoral art described by Wikipedia:
Littoral art is a term used by Canadian artist and writer Bruce Barber to describe art occurring outside of the institutions of the artworld.[1] It is a manifestation of Nicolas Bourriaud'srelational aesthetics and is public and community-based, emphasizing the interaction between artists and spectators.[1] The idea derives from Habermas's concept of communicative action.
and brings me full circle to a conversation I had recently at an artist's forum meeting about APG Artists Placement Group - set to feature in my dissertation too
