Live Brief: The Big Issue in The North

For a few months now I have been volunteering weekly with The Big Issue in The North. It has always been something very separate from my art practice and other areas of my life, but we have been asked to create work and put on an exhibition for them. We had a meeting with one of the coordinators to get some more details on what exactly it was they wanted us to do.

It's a really loose brief, because the coordinators are open to anything really, as long as it involved the vendors in some way. At the moment, the idea of putting together a photography exhibition is one that seems popular. We know that one of the coordinators is in to photography herself, and she likes the idea of giving the vendors disposable cameras and seeing what could come from that. We need to talk to the vendors in some detail about any ideas we come up with too, to see how willing to get involved they would be.
