As part of our leading role in the Urban Rooms Network, Live Works has been developing a website to allow members to share ideas across the network and to showcase the activities of individual urban rooms.

You Are Here is running from 25th February – 10th March at Live Works, 18-20 Union St. The exhibition showcases temporary public artworks by Leo Fitzmaurice, OSA and Sans façon, which occupied Sheffield city centre during December 2015.

Live Works hosted ‘What can (not) be done?’ on 17-18th February, a two day event with SSoA Visiting Professors Ana Džokic and Marc Neelen from STEALTH.unlimited. The event focused on those situations where our efforts to reach a “better” urban future – more resilient, sustainable, fair, inspiring – hit the boundaries of what is achievable, permissible or generally accepted.

You Are Here is an interdisciplinary project, consisting of new temporary public art works, a one day symposium, and exhibition, to explore future ways of working collaboratively across the fields of art and architecture.

Sheffield School of Architecture’s ‘Studio In Residence’ will be working from Live Works until June 2016. The group of master’s students are undertaking design projects based around the Castlegate area of Sheffield.
