PaP artists are Liz Jones, Annabel Pettigrew, Harry Meadows, Gemma Gore, James Aldridge and Laura Eldret. Current project People + Place (Mail) .

PaP (People + Place) is a forum for artists exploring ideas and modes of contemporary art-making that exist at the intersection of people and place. Meet-ups happen in and around the Southampton / New Forest area. It is a framework to test and share ideas that inform participating artists’ practices. Supporting each other in the conceptualisation and development of unchartered territories in our practices.

"An artist should search, not re-search” – Joseph Albers

PaP seeks to explore new ways of thinking and working with people and places. How can we find new ways to inspire, approach and generate our work? Opportunities for working with people + place are often dictated by organisations, landowners, developers, etc. PaP seeks to explore these territories by starting from artists’ points of view. Providing a genuine space for developing, testing and generating new ideas through discussion, examination and peer critique.

PaP artists are motivated by interests in society, people, place and politics today. With a wide range of approaches including socially engaged, research, sculptural, film and video, documentary, site-specific and community-based practice.

People + Place is an artists’ peer network led by artist Laura Eldret, in partnership with MTP (More Than Ponies), and supported by ‘a space’ arts. If you wish to know more please email mail@morethanponies.info
