Live Art Collective East (LACE)

 

Live Art Collective East (LACE) is an artist-led organisation based in the East of England with a current membership of twelve artists: Caroline Wright, Vicki Weitz, Helen Paris, Che Kevlin, Dot Howard, Leslie Hill, Mel Donohoe, Chris Dobrowolski, Richard DeDomenici, Holly Darton, Abi Cunliffe and Juliet Aster.

This summer, LACE are presenting eight commissions in unusual spaces and places across the Eastern region as part of the Cultural Olympiad:

Hunt & Darton Cafe – Hunt & Darton 
Vanishing Point – Leslie Hill & Chris Dobrowolski 
British Social Athlete – Mel Donohoe 
Three Step Endeavour – Holly Darton, Dot Howard & Vicki Weitz 
Hopscotch to Victory – Richard DeDomenici & Caroline Wright 
Reminiscences of a Backward Future – Richard DeDomenici 
Out of Water – Helen Paris & Caroline Wright 
Standstill – Abi Cunliffe

All works are original and each one premieres in the Eastern region. From beach huts to cafés, from forest glades to shopping centres, LACE have challenged themselves to make new artworks in places you might not expect to encounter them.

Live Art Collective East projects are produced by Artsadmin and supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. The projects are part of the Cultural Olympiad celebrations.
