re:place is a project of Derbyshire Arts Development Group
re:place is an ambitious two-year curated programme of site-specific contemporary visual arts commissions and installations across Derbyshire of regional and national significance. It will run throughout 2008 - 2010.
re:place will have three manifestations:

>> Site-specific commissions – at least two major commissions, four intermediate commissions and four bursaries over two years.
>> Non-commissioned programme – this will include curating existing work, for example from the ACE Collection, and touring work in collaboration with partners.
>> Badging and support for artist-led projects throughout the county

Applications for the commissions and bursaries for 2009 are now closed and the first main commission, two intermediate commissions and three bursaries have been selected.

	MarketPlace \| Charlotte A Morgan \| Chesterfield Arts & Market Festivel \| 29 - 31 October 2009 MarketPlace is a site specific project by Charlotte A Morgan taking place at Chesterfield Arts & Market Festival from 29-31 October. The project addresses changes in global and local trade and their influence on the structure of towns and cities, exploring the local and global manifestations of the marketplace and its shifting position socially, spatially and economically. MarketPlace presents a re-imagined market stall structure, developed in collaboration with James Halsall, Jordan L. Lloyd and Rob Taylor, which acts as a physical record of visitors to the space by altering structurally as items are taken away and incorporates multifunctional, adaptable and mobile elements. This is combined with a curated collection of visual and textual responses to the market place, comprising a range of forms from critical text to documentary video, photographic essay, interview, event documentation and participatory art work, and including contributions from artists, writers, curators, architects and active local people. Whilst considering ideas, interpretations and uses of the marketplace, the collection also draws upon its significance within cultural discourse and practice and upon wider notions of community, locality, exchange, interaction, commodity and the object. MarketPlace aims to bring into question the ways in which social and economic shifts combine with advancements in technology and design to create new systems, forms and processes in that directly influence our urban existence. The MarketPlace pavilion structure can be found at New Square in central Chesterfield and will be open to visitors throughout Chesterfield Market Festival, 29-31 October 9am-4pm. MarketPlace is a project by Charlotte A Morgan commissioned as part of the *re:*place Derbyshire contemporary art programme, in collaboration with Chesterfield Borough Council, and involves contributions from Amenity Space, Sebastian Craig, Alex Farrar and Hans Abbing, Jordan J. Lloyd, Lesley Guy, No Fixed Abode, Trish O'Shea, Zoe Sawyer, Julia Udall and Kai-Oi Jay Yung. Julie Udall's project invites interaction; please bring along everyday objects to exchange at the market stall.
