Co-curated a group exhibition of video, installation, photography and performance featuring emerging artists from across the UK.
Four of the participating artists were awarded a residency and invited to produce new work for the exhibition. Collaborating closely with the commissioned artists over an extended period, and in dialogue with other contributors, I delivered a multi-modal exhibition exploring identity, displacement and transience.
Artists: Simon Backmore, James Brown, Anthea Hamilton, Janet Wang Joe Woodhouse, Marco Salotti, Michelle Sank, Paul Johnson, Sandy Milroy, Shelly Heath, Simon Blackmore and Steve Hawtin

Commissioned this dual-site performance and installation by Keith Armstrong, working in collaboration with choreographer Lisa O’Neill, live artist Leisa Shelton and composer Guy Webster.
Examining the visible and invisible relationships that exist between people and their local and global environments, the artist worked in residence at Site Gallery for two weeks to develop this duel-site, installation and performance.
The artist’s collaborators performed live in Brisbane, with footage streamed in real-time across the internet to be projected within a scenographic installation in Sheffield.
Presented simultaneously at Site Gallery, Sheffield and Powerhouse Centre for Live Art, Brisbane 2001
