Artist Placement Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Artist Placement Group (APG) was founded in 1966 as an artist-run organisation seeking to refocus art outside the gallery, predominantly through attaching an artist in a business or governmental context for a period of time.

As well as these placements, the organisation exhibited in galleries - for example in a retrospective review at Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1977 and at documenta 6 in the same year.

Among the participants were Barbara Steveni, John Latham, Stuart Brisley, Hugh Davies, Andrew Dipper, David Toop and Ian Breakwell.

After 1989 the organisation became known as Organisation and Imagination (O+I).
