Sue Palmer and Simon Lee Dicker explore the art of place making in Langport, Somerset, UK, with a focus on the public and civic spaces in the town. Both Simon and Sue are Somerset-based contemporary public artists who have been invited by Somerset Art Works to make some process based work in Langport that invites the residents of the town to engage with ideas about how public spaces could be more creatively used, and ‘owned’ by the community.

This Garden...
'THIS GARDEN WAS DONATED BY TESCO STORES LTD TO LANGPORT TOWN COUNCIL FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE RESIDENTS OF LANGPORT'
Using flowers bought from the market under the Town Hall, Debbie said: she will have to say to her supplier “They are for a wedding” – that way they’ll be open for the Saturday. “No point in saying they are for art”.
As well as creating the memorial, questioning the history, politics and ownership of 'public space, we made a number of rubbings from the memorial stone. Images will be posted later.
