What happens when you bring together artists, east London communities and UCL research? Field Works: a speculative exhibition and events exploring access and power developed through collaboration, thinking and playing.
About
Hoxton Hall is host to Field Works: an exhibition of six artist installations. Developed over a year, the artworks are the results of investigation, collaboration, thinking and playing between east London artists, UCL researchers and communities of people in east London.
Honest and uncomfortable, Field Works probes at the premise that the urban environment is a ready sphere for inequality. But what does this mean? Through their work together, the groups have begun to develop methodologies that work towards an ultimately optimistic reading of the city. They have found humour and tenderness in human connection.
Field Works is the culmination of the Trellis 4 programme. Since 2019, Trellis has brought together over 200 artists and researchers, and many local community individuals and organisations through a process which has so far led to 20 commissions in four exhibitions.
Trellis is part of a wider scheme of cultural and community engagement work as part of the new UCL East campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The work aims to build a culture of mutual benefit, collaboration, and exchange between UCL staff and students and east London communities.
Trellis is co-funded by Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
