About The Den Project
The Den Project initiates the construction of spaces of creativity
inviting people to participate and contribute to the design and making
of temporary environments, as a means of communicating that does not
depend on one common spoken language. It celebrates the potential of
temporary structures, a d.i.y aesthetic, assemblage and disassemblage,
and the reusing of materials. As such the constructions become a focus
of discussion that draws on such experiences as individual childhood
memories, home-made construction methods, the necessity of shelter
physically and psychologically, creativity as a means of exchange and
communication that somewhere between all these connects what we can do
universally.
42 New Briggate is currently part of the Art in Unsual Spaces scheme:
a partnership between independent curators, landlords, artists and
businesses throughout the city and Leeds City Council. It is an
ongoing initiative utilising units across the city as they become
temporarily vacant.
42 New Briggate is open to proposals for future residency's and
exhibitions. For information on how to apply please see the get
involved section of the Art in Unusual Spaces Website: www.artinunusualspaces.co.uk.
