Projects

Mansions of the Future is a multifaceted social project, based within an accessible public space in the city of Lincoln that was developed with the premise of hosting and celebrating the city’s different cultural activities, groups and interests. Culture is a Verb is the work of Kathrin Böhm, Mansions of the Future Inaugural Artist, who asked - how can such a space be set up to be used? And how can the idea of openness be communicated?

Böhm’s art practice focuses on the production of collective public spaces. Her Culture is a Verb commission equipped the ground floor with an infrastructure and design and a pilot programme of public events which promoted culture through action. In her commission Böhm employed the concept of usership - demonstrating how art can be applied in order to support public spaces which are shaped by their numerous possibilities - welcoming a broadness of practices, a richness of aesthetics and a multitude of identities.
