Artist Placement Group

Artist Placement Group

The Artist Placement Group (APG) was founded in 1966 as an artist-run organisation seeking to refocus art outside the gallery, predominantly through attaching an artist in a business or governmental context for a period of time.

As well as these placements, the organisation exhibited in galleries - for example in INN70 at the Hayward gallery in London,1970 and other venues including a retrospective review at Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1977 and at documenta 6 in the same year.

Among the participants were Barbara Steveni, John Latham, Barry Flanagan, Jeffrey Shaw, Stuart Brisley, Hugh Davies, Andrew Dipper, David Toop and Ian Breakwell.

After 1989 the organisation became known as "Organisation and Imagination" (O+I). John Latham died in 2006 just after the Tate gallery in London purchased the APG archives.
