“PLACE IS AN undervalued determinant in creative output: a place to be and a place apart and a place always changing and thus encouraging change. To think of an artistic group in terms of place is to write a different history of art, one that can be more inclusive, more open to serendipitous interaction, and can also explain more of the cultural, emotional, and financial context behind any art object. To focus on place allows us to bring in the small details around the conditions and materials of working, too often lost to the archive, that help uncover why anything even gets made at all.”
