Hoodwink is calling for proposals from artists working in the UK to make a site-specific response to County Square Shopping Centre in Ashford, Kent. The commission, worth £3,000, represents an exciting opportunity for the artist involved to work in new ways and reach new audiences by showing in a non-traditional space and to make new connections with Kent physically and theoretically.
Hoodwink is a unique commissioning project initiated by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council Arts Development Unit that extends
contemporary art practice beyond gallery spaces and public art arenas and places it slap bang in the middle of the hustle and bustle
of daily life, such as in supermarkets, pubs and shopping centres, harnessing the potential for large-scale engagement with existing
users.
An open afternoon has been organised to view the venue, talk to staff and Hoodwink project managers on 6th March 2013. Please book your place on the tour by emailing: hoodwink@tunbridgewells.gov.uk
