Jamboree #1

The first edition of Jamboree was held in Plymouth over 3 days in November 2015, with 16 artist participants (selected from 6 artist run associate schemes from across the UK) and guest curator Martin Clark (then Director, Bergen Kunsthall & Artistic Director, Art Sheffield).

Over 3 days, participants camped out at Plymouth Arts Centre to share details of their practice, engage in group place-mapping tasks (identifying and sharing opportunities and resources relating to their own locales and developing new ways to support each other’s practices), provocations led by guest curator (Martin Clark), go-sees to visit Plymouth’s visual arts institutions and special presentations from experts in other fields (Neil Rose & Shaun Lewin). All of this took place in a communal social atmosphere, where the artists ate, slept and worked alongside each other in close proximity.

As part of Jamboree #1: Plymouth, LOW PROFILE and PAC Home held a public screening event, presenting work (selected via an open call) of artists’ video work by associate artists of Jamboree #1’s partner Associate Schemes.
