Urban Rituals

• 

Creative collaborations between the UK and Turkey, exploring and acting onto the ways we use, inhabit, and understand public spaces.

SPACEPILOTS in association with Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London; London Metropolitan University and Mimar Sinan University, Istanbul.

The students first explored the particular rituals each of us undertakes at the start of a day within our domestic settings, to then map them onto an appropriate space in Bishops Square, Spitalfields, London. Within the short scope of one week each group has been designing, building and installing a structure aiming to translate and communicate notions of the very personal in public.

The project partners are The Academy of fine Arts Vienna, Austria and Malmo University School of Arts and Communication in Sweden. The associated partners are Mersin University Faculty of Fine Arts Turkey, Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts, ELIA European league of Institutes of the Arts and the Consulate general of Sweden.

The installations have been exhibited at Bishops Square, Spitalfields, London EC1. PUBLIC VIEW – Sunday 26th April 2009
