  	Detailed project description (200–400 words)	For 2018 we are looking to commission a significant, temporary artwork which will explore text and typography on an architectural scale to provide an immersive experience, and provoke thought, debate, and discussion in this vocal and literary city.  Lettering conventionally contributes to ‘naming places and defining spaces’, typography is employed to identify, promote and enliven.  What might happen if the words become a place in their own right, when letters outgrow the scale of what they name?

This artwork will

• occupy a central public space (or spaces) in Hull 
• interrupt everyday life, movement and views of the city
• provoke thought and surprise
• create a meeting place for the exchange of ideas 
• express a city, confident to explore its future
• explore ‘borders’ as potential sites for conflict or reconciliation
• be realised through collaboration, potentially between writer, architect and designer/artist

The R&D stage takes place from January 2018 - 5 March when the concept proposal is submitted. 

The R&D period will include:
• finalising detailed brief and briefing material
• artist research
• artist approaches and discussion
• arranging and hosting site visits and interviews
• drafting contracts
• consultation/liaison with HCC and others on consents and licensing
• consultation with other stakeholders and potential partners
• early briefing and planning for marketing/education/linked commissions
• managing concept design process, artist liaison, information/consultation liaison
