  • Commissions in the North of England 2000-2003
    COMMISSIONS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND 2000-2003 Uniform, Lindsay Duncanson Artist Lindsay Duncanson was invited by Commissions North to produce a series of photographs that paired local people together with new public artworks in the region. Commissioning The North East’s legacy of major landmark sculptures has firmly embedded the principle that artists have a central role within the creative design, building and regeneration process. The commitment to engage with artists is now widely established, however the next challenge is to develop new artists’ commissions, which ensure innovation, creative risk, and fresh ideas are supported in order to increase the region’s reputation as a centre of excellence for commissioning. This publication aims to capture the diversity of ideas, designs and commissions in the North East of England from 2000 to 2003.

Since 1995 the project has enabled numerous artists’ commissions within the riverside regeneration of the Tyne and Wear across North Tyneside, Newcastle, Sunderland and South Tyneside.
