Our project for Latitude is to place ballet boxes in locations around Hull asking people to vote on a question about public art and its effect on the surrounding area. People will be invited to vote via a ballot paper, crossing the box of the statement they most agree with. After a period of 10 days the votes will be counted and the results will be presented on posters for people pick up and take away.
The project will explore ideas around the use of the term 'public art' and 'public space' as well as contesting and redefining issues surrounding site, place, and location. The work will also contest current social and cultural hierarchies that are present in today's society.
People will be able to check out the voting and results on the Public Art Survey blog.
