This event brought together an international panel of writers, curators and artists to consider the interrelations of place-based practice and how ideas of publicness are explored in art, its institutions and its audiences. The event celebrated the launch of OPEN 14 - an anthological publication examining how art and its institutions inform notions of public space.
