Catherine is the founder and creative director of Produce UK, an event-production consultancy and cultural programmer that works with brands, businesses and developers to conceive and deliver experiential placemaking strategies ranging from installations and exhibitions to large-scale festivals.The duo is on a mission to bring unexpected eruptions of art into the everyday urban landscape and in 2017 they re-conceived the idea of the exhibition space, launching SKIP Gallery – an ongoing series of collaborative, site-specific artworks housed in skips on public sites. With 15 skip shows under their belt, collaborating with artists such as David Shrigley and Jeremy Deller, Baker & Borowski have spread their wings to begin a new venture, Graphic Rewilding, creating large scale artworks that introduce the diversity and colours of the natural world into urban environments. With these images they hope to inspire and encourage people to connect a little more with nature.For more information on the Kensington Chelsea Art Week & Trail go tohttps://www.kcaw.co.ukTo Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofartsFor full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.orgEmail: [email protected] Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
