Working with international artists to create temporary visual arts projects for public spaces across the city of Swansea.
A cumulative lists of all artists and projects involved in Nought to Sixty.
Nought to Sixty presents sixty projects by emerging artists based in Britain and Ireland over six months from 5 May to 2 November 2008.
Most of the artists in Nought to Sixty are under thirty-five, few of them have had significant commercial exposure, and in most cases this is their first opportunity to mount a solo project in a major public space.

Locws International works with international artists to create temporary visual arts projects for public spaces across the city of Swansea, projects in which place and context are integral, and which employ a broad variety of locations. Future projects include Locws Projects 08 in October 2008, in which Wales-based artists Jennie Savage and Richard Higlett will create new works for the Swansea Festival of Music: Savage will present audio stories from the city in response to the expansive Swansea Bay; while Higlett will put together a canine choir to perform a musical concert to commemorate local hero Swansea Jack. Locws International 4, planned for Spring 2009, will see ten international artists create temporary works in public sites.
