The Unregistered
project was directly inspired by the work that artist Keith Hayman did with
architect Simon Gedye around Cuthbert Bank. Their project was shortlisted and then commended for RIBA's forgotten spaces award.
Keith and Simon were friends as
well as work colleagues, and generously gave Art in the Park some of their time
at the very beginning of the project. However, in a tragic turn of events,
Keith died just a few weeks later.
At the end of the project, I met with Simon
to celebrate Keith’s life, creativity and energy. It seemed fitting to frame
the project in such a way, to recognise the influence of an outstanding man,
and to dedicate our success to his memory. Click the link below for Simon’s
words about Keith (audio upload in progress - watch this space!)
