James Winnett is guest editor on the Longhouse Website for May / June 2010, and has launched 9-piece puzzle.

9-piece puzzle explores the complexities that surround developing work for the public realm. It aims to become a useful resource for artists and a space for conversations to take place.

There are several ways for people to engage with the project, for example;

• An artist toolkit
• Reviews of events, exhibitions, public art projects etc
• A ‘comment’ section for taking a more in depth look at certain public realm issues and debates
• A ‘no comment’ section for pictures rather than words
• ‘Blue Sky Proposals’ – a competition inviting artists to send in hypothetical proposals for interventions into public spaces
