About the Den Project

The Den Project initiates the construction of spaces of creativity inviting people to participate and contribute to the design and making of temporary environments, as a means of communicating that does not depend on one common spoken language. It celebrates the potential of temporary structures, a d.i.y aesthetic, assemblage and disassemblage, and the reusing of materials. As such the constructions become a focus of discussion that draws on such experiences as individual childhood memories, home-made construction methods, the necessity of shelter physically and psychologically, creativity as a means of exchange and communication that somewhere between all these connects what we can do universally.

42 New Briggate's window space will be used to screen films from the project, and display documentation of the artists explorations in the gallery.
