Commons explores how live within, around and through public and shared space. The artists’ in this exhibition traverse diverse territory, from unnoticed sounds of the city, to the agency of felled trees and personal encounters with civic infrastructure. Together, the works examine the past and present forces that shape our experience of the spaces, knowledge and practices we share. Commons posits that artists have the important role of not only reflecting society, but imagining it otherwise, and allowing others to do this with them.
