London Fieldworks (LFW) was formed by artists Bruce Gilchrist and Jo Joelson in 2000 to promote an interdisciplinary and collaborative arts practice.
Having formed a notion of ecology as a complex inter-working of social, natural, and technological worlds, LFW work across social engagement, installation, sculpture, architecture, film and publishing to situate works both in the gallery and in the landscape, for screen and radio.
