Situations at The University of the West of England, Bristol supports the Clark Digital Bursary as part of the Place Research Centre and the Strategic Alliance between Watershed and UWE. Situations is a research and commissioning programme devised to investigate the significance of place and context in the commissioning and production of contemporary art works. It seeks to create a unique network of debates and projects, which radiate from its Bristol base across the South West England, nationally and internationally - informing the ways in which art is commissioned and made. Situations will offer the artist valuable support linking to the programme’s research concerns and output, mentoring and access to the wider academic network at UWE.
