TY - GEN AU - Cummings, Neil TI - Bright 2- Parade: : public modes of assembly and forms of address T2 - Bright Series of publications PY - 2010/// CY - London; PB - CCW Graduate School; N2 - "Critical Practice, a cluster of artists, researchers and academics hosted by Chelsea College of Art and Design, a constituent college of the University of the Arts London. We have a longstanding interest in art, public goods, spaces, services and knowledge, and a track record of producing original, participatory events. Chelsea College of Art and Design has a large contemporary courtyard at its heart: the beautiful Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground. We collaborated with Polish curator Kuba Szreder to develop a programme of events that explore the diverse, contested and vital conceptions of being in public. In a bespoke, temporary structure designed by award-winning Polish architects Ola Wasilkowska and MichaƂ Piasecki - assembled in public - we produced a landmark event in an amazing location with a host of international contributors. Parade challenged the lazy, institutionalised model of knowledge transfer - in which amplified 'experts' speak at a passive audience. Our modes of assembly, our forms of address and the knowledge we share are intimately bound." www.criticalpracticechelsea.org ER -
