This new publication focuses on ten key murals in London - ranging
from the well-known and visible such as The Battle of Cable Street
in East London to the forgotten and hidden - to examine how these
public paintings have changed over time and how the spaces around
them have transformed. The murals are presented through
newly-commissioned photographs, each accompanied by a text by The
Work in Progress (Benedict Drew, Emma Hart, Dai Jenkins, Dean
Kenning and Corinna Till) which draws on and reflects on the
broader questions of the project. How does making a mural in a
local community alter artistic decision-making? Why confront the
difficulties of making an image collectively? How have changes in
the distribution of art funding in recent decades affected mural
production? With an introduction by the curators of the project and
an essay by writer Owen Hatherley, Reclaim the Mural offers a
unique insight into a long-term, artist-led project. It is the only
publication which looks critically at the legacy of the mural and
community arts movement of the late seventies and provides an
important analogy with contemporary questions surrounding the
social function of art.
