Residency Parson Cross: The Collaborators
Made for You
Artists Steve Pool & Kate Genever of THE COLLABORATORS have recently installed artworks made for the shopkeepers on Buchanan Road, Parson Cross. They sit well in their respective locations and look a bit like art while meeting a need for the shop keepers. The images of old Parson Cross in the English Cafe are a talking point for customers according to proprietor Deniz with people trying to locate their houses and guess the location.
Part of the next phase of this project is to work with shopkeepers on the Margetson Crescent parade of shops next to the new Knutton Road Studios. Once all work is completed and installed we hope to have a community celebration event in Parson Cross. All work has been produced as an edition of 2 with the second edition to be shown in a gallery location. When we asked Kate and Steve why they had made two of everything they replied "The same things will have different meanings in different places, we hope people will think about context and place and this is something the work explores."
