An exhibition of practice-based research that looks at art, culture, and community in the Union Street area of Plymouth.
Cultural Constellations explores how the language found in arts policy affects the interaction between arts, cultural and community organisations in the Union Street area of Plymouth. Through participatory diagrams, keyword booklets, and documentary feedback filmmaking, artist and curator Henry Mulhall creates a space for the exchange of various voices. Zooming in and out of the Union Street context, these research artefacts reflect various communicative methods back to those involved, while Mulhall himself continually questions his own position as a researcher and as someone with personal ties to Union Street and Plymouth. Rather than stage a direct focus on the street’s history, architecture or local residents, these works frame a series of relationships that contribute to activities that have, and are still, changing the Union Street urban environment.
