The project was conceived in two stages.
The first, took place in June 2004 and involved the setting-up of
Memory Factory and included a series of workshops based at Coleman
Project Space. This brought together artists and local historians
with neighborhood residents and former factory workers, to gather
the archive of the nexus of the labour-urban-social identity of the
former Biscuit Town;
The second, had at its core an artistic intervention
that crossed a gallery installation with a public art intervention.
The launch and the time based performance of SOS:OK was inserted into
a wider public campaign including billboards which explored the manufacture
of place, in this case, the re-appropriation of Biscuit Town and provided
a way of connecting the local production with global issues of productivity,
emergency and international solidarity.
