What is an alt.SPACE practice? Public Space Open Mics, June, 2005

Premised on a desire and a perceived need for an informal space dedicated to serious and engaged dialogue around the relationship between artistic practice and research into theoretical and critical discourse as well as wider historical, cultural and socio-political contexts, the artist collective C.CRED [Collective CREative Dissent] set out, in June 2005, organizing two public space events in London – one at an abandoned rooftop in the City, the other in a cemetery in Limehouse – where people were invited to respond freely, in an ‘open mic’ context, to the concept ‘alt.SPACE’. What does a practice operating within such informal ‘dialogical’ space look like? How is such space established in the first place, along what parameters? Or, in other words, what exactly is an alt.SPACE practice?
