INGRID SVENSON BREAK-OUT TALK

Saturday 19th May, 1.00 to 2.30pm
CAZ project space, The Basement, The Exchange, Princes Street, Penzance (New Street entrance) opposite the Star Inn

As part of the Penzance Convention CAZ will be hosting 'Break-out' a talk by Ingrid Swenson, about her work as director of small-scale independent arts organisation 'PEER', based in London.

Since joining PEER in 1998 Ingrid has enabled over 50 projects in the gallery space on Hoxton Street, in the wider Shoreditch community and beyond. She has commissioned and produced major works by emerging, mid-career and established artists including Martin Creed, Mike Nelson, Ceal Floyer, Breda Beban, Siobhan Hapaska, Edwina Ashton, Anthony McCall, Milly Thompson, Jennet Thomas, Kathy Prendergast, Bill Culbert, John Smith and most recently Stuart Brisley.

In the past five years she has developed strategic partnerships in order to continue and expand PEER’s activities. Most notably she has worked with Shoreditch Trust, the local award-winning community-focused organisation, on initiating and implementing a number of culture-led regeneration projects for the public realm. This has included high quality and widely acclaimed commissions with Bob & Roberta Smith, Tania Kovats, Yuko Shiraishi and John Frankland. In 20011 she successfully applied to become a client of Arts Council England, and from April 2012, PEER has entered a three-year agreement as part of their National Portfolio.
