In Public In Particular

IPIP — a Creative Europe project on participatory methods and situation-specific art, fostering community engagement across Europe.

A hand-made bird puppet carried through the streets in the Noorderlicht parade, Antwerp — the participatory street procession, from Kris van ’t Hof’s community-engagement work, that fed into IPIP.

In Public In Particular (IPIP, 2015–2018) was directed by Kris van ’t Hof of the Royal Academy of Art, Antwerp — with whom Celia de Villiers now co-directs Ponte d’Arte — and developed between the universities of Dublin (Ireland), Turku (Finland) and Zagreb (Croatia). It explored how art is made in public and in particular: situation-specific, participatory, rooted in place and community.

An artist and researcher with a long-standing interest in participatory practice, Celia de Villiers contributed to the project’s fieldwork and writing; her reports on participatory and situation-specific art were published online by Creative Europe. The work fed directly into her teaching and into her later community and residency projects — the lineage that runs on into Forgotten Lands.

The partnership grew out of van ’t Hof’s wider community-engagement work in Antwerp, including the ‘Noorderlicht parade’.
