Futurecity Founder Mark Davy is using the company’s 15th year in business to revisit 15 public art works curated by Futurecity from 2007 – 2023. The walk takes him across to meet the artists, architects and clients who were involved in often ambitious and complex art-projects. The 15 artworks represent a collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach to public art, which were rarely funded through 106 or philanthropic sources, but by taking an ‘embedded art’ approach, where the work has been part of architecture, infrastructure, and landscape design. In each of case the public art has been part of earlier placemaking and cultural strategies that took a wider look at how arts and culture might contribute to the regeneration of brownfield sites or as part of new developments in existing communities. The walk will conclude in November with aeries of talks and walks as part of the celebration of Futurecitys 15th year
