‘More common, more public’ brings together two creative practice research projects to explore, firstly the themes within them that offer a critical perspective on the making of values and relational ethics more attuned to commons and collective life. Secondly, in framing the material-social practices of these art-architecture practitioners as research, we question opportunities for learning from the potential of transference of values and ways of valuing knowledge between different practice and research publics. Both projects, introduce the idea of working with products, which enable the performance and practice of new values, of collective making and sharing. In particular they suggest a different mode of production and use, other than commercial or commodified ones. The values of the products are wrapped in the stories around them, as well as their capacity in making connections, and new claims to space. Amidst the aggressive privatisation of space, and not least of knowledge and language, we are interested in how these forms of practice might translate and survive processes of enclosure, in both public space and the revaluing within cultures of standardization and evaluation in the academy.
