The project is a year-long intervention into the buildings, streets and spaces of Hull through a co-commissioning programme that will see Hull transformed into a playground for both artists and audience. Artists and architects will be invited to create work that alters the city in some way, shifting perceptions of the place, turning the familiar into something strange and wonderful, playful and celebratory. Commissions will be broad ranging and may include sound design, lighting installations, digital work and interactive pieces as well as sculptural architectural interventions. Hull will become a destination for art lovers looking to experience this new urban outdoor gallery. It will be a key project within the visual arts programme for Hull UK City of Culture 2017, free and open to all. We anticipate that the programme will include 6 to 12 individual commissions, with a phased installation with most of the work installed by summer 2017.
