On Site
is an artist group founded in 2001 and are currently involved in a long-term
project focusing on the Kings Cross redevelopment by P&O Developments.
The area between Pentonville Road, York Way, Caledonian Road and Wharfdale
Road is not only one of the last areas of Central London to be redeveloped,
but Kings Cross is also one of the largest areas of urban regeneration
and development in Europe.
The On
Site Artist Group is affiliated with Central Saint Martins College of
Art and Design. The group has amongst themselves a wide range of expertise
that will come to the fore in the On Site project.
Each of
the 17 artists is developing artworks that are an enquiry into the radically
changing social and built environment. 'First Site' is the title
of the first of two public exhibitions, showing works and projects that
form a response to the redevelopment of the Kings Cross area. On Site
are going to install a range of artworks in a range of media. Some fragile
others robust, some hidden and others theatrical but all of which share
the purpose of critical enquiry with regard to the process of urban
regeneration in Kings Cross.
In addition
to exhibitions, On Site is involved in local events, artist-talks and
artist-led workshops with resident community groups. For further information
