About the Exhibition

Public School began in early 2013 as a proposition to generate and sustain shared projects that involve a rotating roster of artists and thinkers spanning great distances. Ardent researchers and itinerant, multidisciplinary artists in their own right, Emily Hope and Lea Bucknell have modelled Public School to be a roving forum, for inquiry and knowledge sharing. By mailing out thematic art kits to participants all over the country and exhibiting the results, sharing information through the online Public School Newsletter , and engaging communities with workshops, artist talks and public forums, Public School aims to develop a strong ensemble of talented collaborators.  

Curators, Lea Bucknell and Emily Hope are multidisciplinary artists with a strong focus on socially engaged projects.
