public works is an artists and architects collective based in East London, and current members are artists Kathrin Böhm and Polly Brannan, and architects Andreas Lang and Torange Khonsari. Our work takes place in the public, with a focus on how public space is shaped by the very different activities and interests that are inherent to a site. Our work takes place in form of art and/or architecture commissions, self-initiated projects, talks and discussions, and publications and fanzines. See public works projects.

For this blog we want concentrate on activities that are strongly networked, and we want to unroll a bit why and how and with whom these networks are being started and maintained. We will publish
- announcements for events
- descriptions and histories of those networks
- weblinks
- and what we think are interesting essays and publications.

Throughout October we will be active in a number of network activities, such as
Friday Sessions
The International Village Shop (pan-national)
The Hackney Wick Curiosity Shop (Hackney Wick, London)
RHYZOM (pan-european)
Concrete Geometries Research Cluster at the AA (educational).

We will describe all of those in more detail soon,
With best regards for now
Kathrin and Andreas
