Wrights & Sites

Simon is a member of Wrights & Sites, a group of performance-trained artists celebrating over 20 Years of projects since 1997. Their work is focused on peoples’ relationships to places, cities, landscape and walking. They employ disrupted walking strategies as tools for playful debate, collaboration, intervention and spatial meaning-making.

They have sought to pass on their strategies to others: to audiences, readers, visitors and passersby.

The outcomes of their work vary from project to project, but frequently include site-specific performance, Mis-Guided Tours (e.g. Stadtverführungen in Wien, Tanzquartier Wien and Wiener Festwochen, Vienna, 2007), published Mis-Guides (e.g. A Mis-Guide To Anywhere, 2006), ‘drifts’, mythogeographic mapping, public art (e.g. Everything you need to build a town is here, Situations/Field Art Projects/CABE, Weston-super-Mare, 2010) or installations (e.g. mis-guided, Belluard Bollwerk International Festival, Fribourg, 2008), and public presentations and articles.

Today, walking and exploring the everyday remains at the heart of all they do, and what they make seeks to facilitate walker-artists, walker-makers and everyday pedestrians to become partners in ascribing significance to place.
