Public Good explores how the planning, design and governance of public space define how we engage with public environments socially and logistically. The project focuses on proposals for unrealised or imagined ideas and provocations for civic planning and public space, including public sculpture, architecture, civic infrastructure and urban planning.
Public Good features new work by Tim Middleton, Charlotte Watson, David Cook, Tim J. Veling, Gareth Williams and Matthew Galloway.
Curated by Kim Paton, Public Good is an ongoing project that includes a series of exhibitions and publications over 18 months.
The first of two publications under the Public Good umbrella will be released at the close of the RAMP exhibition (on 22 March 2013 at RAMP Gallery) and will include contributions from 30 artists, writers and designers on the subject of public space. Contributors include Jonty Valentine, Mark Harvey, Bryce Galloway, Mark Amery, Karl Chitham, Sophie Jerram, Michael Harrison, Spencer Levine and Simon Esling.
