Nils Norman. Life in the Projects and the Proposals

British artist Nils Norman (Kent, 1966) works across the disciplines of public art, architecture and urban planning. His projects challenge notions of the function of public art and the efficacy of mainstream urban planning and large-scale regeneration. Informed by local politics and ideas on alternative economic, ecological systems and play, Norman’s work merges utopian alternatives with current urban design to create a humorous critique of the discrete histories and functions of public art and urban planning. Life in the Projects and the Proposals is the first major retrospective of Norman’s work.
