Incidental Assembly will take place at the South London Gallery in the Clore Studio and Orozco Garden. The Artist Placement Group was committed to placing artists beyond the worlds of art, thereby interrupting norms in law, health, industry, education, administration and more. The purpose of the assembly is to think together, inspired by concepts coined by the Artist Placement Group, such as ‘Context is Half the Work’, the Incidental Person and the artists role in society, to consider socially engaged practice in the present.

Incidental Unit envision the afternoon to be a convening of practices explored in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, installations, moving-image, interactive interventions, workshop building exercises, fieldwork and mapping. Additional to the Saturday event, on Friday 13 September 2019, Incidental Unit will be holding a public Study Day to bring together research considering Context is Half the Work, ‘incidentality’, artists’ roles in society and socially engaged practice. All applicants are invited to join us, as are members of the public.
