Inside Outside: A History of the Artist Placement Group. A film by Toby Honest

Barbara Steveni: ‘I mean, we were told that we'd opened a can of worms. As a matter of fact we opened a great new area of opportunity for exchange, and the can of worms was the Arts Council, who interpreted it in the way they did. And I think that the care has to be from artists, of protecting their creative initiatives, from the erosion of administrations.’
