Abstract
“Showflat” examined the critical and complicit roles of culture within the future planning and redevelopment of Sheffield. The artists’ intent was to redevelop their studio space into a studio apartment, predicting changes due to urban regeneration. The artists’ studio was situated in a rapidly changing area where creative industry had thrived in Sheffield. It was increasingly clear that most would be unable to afford increases in rent as corporate business and inner city housing developments began to be attracted by the ‘alternative’ reputation of the area. The intent of the work was to transform the studio into a space where a critical discussion could happen concerning the function of art within city planning.
