Global Co-commission
Share
Alserkal Advisory initiated The Global Co-commission in partnership with the Global Cultural Districts Network (GCDN) to produce works of public art that approach the subject of climate change. By engaging global cultural districts’ multiple vantage points on the climate emergency, the Co-Commission experiments with conventional ontologies of curation, creation, and commissioning, interlacing arts and culture districts in a conversation across continents.
Tairone Bastien, curator of The Global Co-commission goes beyond the initiative's assertions with the Co-commission title: A Feral Commons, inviting artists to explore human and non-human interdependencies in a multi-species world.
Supported by Urban Arts Project Company (UAP), the initiative will be self-audited utilising UAP’s Artwork Ingredient List and Public Art 360 tools which guide the project on sustainable practices and measures the impact and value of public art.
