Gymnasium

Contemporary Art Commissioning Programme

Gymnasium is a contemporary art commissioning programme which presents new works in public locations in the city of Lincoln, alongside a print edition and associated exhibitions in Project Space Plus.

The first year of the project will involve three artists/artist’s groups ‘imagining possible futures’ – engaging with the imperative for social change and the creation of heterotopias and propositions, with reference to the specific situation in Lincoln in the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.  The programme is curated by Jeanine Griffin.

 

Publicly Sited Artwork

The Difference - Ruth Ewan

Taking cue from Lincoln’s historic connections with the Magna Carta artist Ruth Ewan developed workshops with young people from The Meadows Primary School which resulted in a series of slogans, text works and drawn maps. One of the re-imagined maps has been developed by Ewan and expertly crafted into an alternative globe which is sited in the foyer of Lincoln Central Library from 15 June until 5 September.
