An artist/architects' collective addressing the users of public space.
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.
The season is not intended to announce any new generation or style, but to build up a multifaceted portrait of the emerging art scene in the two countries, and to provide a space for exchange.
The Nought to Sixty programme consists of:

An artist/architects' collective addressing the users of public space.
public works is a London-based artist/architects' collective which has been working in different constellations of partners and collaborators since 1999. Projects address the users of public space, developing physical and non-physical forms that allow for a participatory and cross-hierarchical transformation of such spaces. public works runs Friday Sessions, which are informal talks at the public works studio on Friday evenings. Providing an opportunity to present different practices and projects in an informal setting, Friday Sessions are announced via e-mail and on the public works blog. public works has also started a selfpublishing initiative: Publishing Public Works. Its first output consists of a series of fanzines which either accompany specific Friday Sessions or act as a publishing tool for related projects. Current members are artists Kathrin Böhm and Polly Brannan, and architects Andreas Lang and Torange Khonsari.
