[node-l] Artist commission from Stream

[Frances Morgan]

Stream (www.streamarts.org.uk) is a creative production agency based in the
London Borough of Greenwich, where our programmes bring together innovative
art practice and local people. We are looking for an artist to undertake a
new commission as part of the 'Voices' strand of our Peninsula programme (
www.peninsulaprojects.net).

The ‘Voices’ strand originates in our awareness of issues raised by
residents and workers in the Greenwich Peninsula area. We would like to
commission further projects that adopt an innovative approach to the theme
of ‘Voices’, using this theme to focus on these issues and give voice to the
diversity of people in the area. We are keen to continue to explore
conversation as a practice following the first Voices project Now Hear This
(http://www.streamarts.org.uk/projects/125) but we do not require that the
project  be primarily an audio one. Other forms of communication could be
explored, in particular web tools and events that encourage participation.
The project should include a web presence that acts not only as
documentation but also as an integral part of the project.

The artist should have experience of collaborative practice and be able to
inspire and facilitate the flow of conversation among participants, as well
as having an understanding of the area of the Peninsula. We are particularly
interested in artists who adopt an inquisitive approach to their practice
and who are excited by developments in digital media and emerging
technology. The artist should also have an awareness of the issues
surrounding digital media concerning access to it across communities and
generations, and the ‘digital divide’ that exists as well as the empowering
potential. With this in mind, the artist should seek to engage people in a
number of ways, and have experience of participatory events.

The commission has a budget of £5000 and is scheduled to take place between
January and July 2010.
