TESLA@UCL_SPECIAL] Artist, Curator and Lecturer Barbara Steveni: Beyond the Acid Free

Barbara Steveni conceived and co-founded the Artist Placement Group (APG), in London in 1966. Steveni’s innovative concept, based on a more holistic and intuitive view of Art than was current at the time, would take another 20 years to enter the mainstream. APG, later renamed O+I, acted as the precursor to current notions of ‘Artist in Residence’ and Public Art programmes.

Steveni is currently active as artist, curator and lecturer, in particular addressing Art and the ‘new’ Economics, Art and Business and ‘Socially Engaged Art Practice’ from and on behalf of the artist voice. Additionally, Steveni is engaged in a personal work under the title: I AM AN ARCHIVE, tracing through a series of walks, revisits and interviews, her life and role within APG / O+ I, in relation to today’s circumstance, and to current and future art practice.
