Abstract

This article traces the history of ‘community art’ on the Aylesbury Estate, a mass municipal housing development in inner-city London. Established by local artists soon after the Aylesbury’s opening in 1974, the Walworth and Aylesbury Community Arts Trust (WACAT) ran a multifaceted arts project on the estate until the early 1990s. Through an examination of WACAT’s changing aims, outputs and engagements with tenants, this article presents new ways of thinking about life on an inner urban estate. For many participants, the project was not only a focus of sociability and creative expression, but a way of making sense of rapidly changing material and social circumstances. The article further shows how art-making was used to both facilitate and oppose the estate’s ongoing demolition, and of contesting stereotypical representations of the estate that went hand in hand with the process of state-led ‘regeneration’.
“社区艺术”在内城庄园的使用与滥用
这篇文章追溯了艾尔斯伯里庄园“社区艺术”的历史,艾尔斯伯里是伦敦市中心的一个大规模市政住房开发项目。1974年艾尔斯伯里庄园开业后不久,当地艺术家成立了沃尔沃斯和艾尔斯伯里社区艺术信托基金会(WACAT),该基金会在该庄园开展了一个多方面的艺术项目,直到20世纪90年代初。通过考察WACAT不断变化的目标、产出和与租户的互动,本文提出了思考城市内部庄园生活的新方式。对许多参与者来说,该项目不仅是社交能力和创造性表达的重点,也是理解快速变化的物质和社会环境的一种方式。这篇文章进一步展示了艺术创作是如何被用来促进和反对遗产正在进行的拆除的,以及对遗产的刻板印象的质疑,这些刻板印象与国家主导的“再生”过程密切相关。
