Newly available from Art360 Foundation, a tribute to Barbara Steveni by close collaborator and friend, Laure Prouvost. Barbara Steveni conceived and co-founded the Artist Placement Group (APG) in London in 1966. APG actively sought to reposition the role of the artist within a wider social context, including government and commerce, while at the same time playing an important part in the history of conceptual art during the 1960s and 1970s.

Steveni's most recent work before sadly passing away in February 2020, I AM AN ARCHIVE, gathered artists and professionals across three generations in a series of participatory and documentary walks, taking place on the site of original APG placements, exploring the potential to reactivate and re-contextualise APG methodologies today.

Art360 worked with Barbara Steveni through the archiving and legacy programme from 2016 to February 2020. Laure Prouvost’s tribute is a testimony to the extraordinary life and legacy of an artist whose archive, work and ideas continue to inspire creators and thinkers across generations.
