Creative Mapping This ongoing collaboration between myself, the Institute for International Visual Arts the Royal Geographical Society and Tate Britain explores creative mappings. To date it has resulted in two exhibitions; a catalogue; an interdisciplinary symposium ‘Crossing Boundaries’ bringing together geographers with visual artists, performance practitioners and people from the GIS Industry; a series of public workshops held at Iniva; and a public lecture I was invited to give at Iniva. There is also a planned book that I have been invited to edit alongside Professor David Pinder (QMUL). Exhibitions: Creative Compass (RGS, Summer 2010) Whose map is it anyway? (Institute for International Visual Arts (Iniva) London. Summer 2010). Catalogue essay: Placing Art at the RGS Symposium: Crossing Boundaries, June 2010, RGS-IBG, Iniva, Tate Britain. Invited public lectures: Creative Mapping; Heath Bunting, artist meets critique (Iniva June 2010). 4 B. Art-Science collaborations Resulting from both connections made during research into the Creative Industries in South West Britain and my current research into Art Science collaborations I have a growing area of ‘impact’ activity around art-science collaborations, including work with C3W, the climate change consortium in Wales.
