Latitude is a series of journeys for the audience leading them around Hull and re-introducing them to spaces that are usually left unobserved. Latitude invites the audience to choose which works they want to see whilst also surprising members of the public with poetic interventions dotted around the city. The exhibition is as much for this unsuspecting public who might happen across an abandoned bike-part or free brochure as for the art audience who will be able to download the exhibition map from the 54°N website or sign up for a guided tour.

54°N have taken on the challenge to question what public art is and can be. Central to the concept of Latitude are the questions of who is the Public and who is the Audience.

54°N is an artists collective with members based in Hull, London and Berlin. Born out of Hull's tradition of artist-run projects and pioneering time based media activity the collective curated 2003's largest UK based artist-run festival with over fifty artists exhibiting in warehouses, gallery spaces and public sites around Hull. Latitude will be the fourth manifestation of the collective.

54°N is Laila Evensen, Espen Jensen, Lorna Moore, Pippa Koszerek and Ben Smith.

The Latitude exhibition has been funded by Hull City Arts, by The National Lottery through Arts Council England, and Awards for All.
