senseofplace LAB emerges in the interdisciplinary space of art, architecture and social engagement. It was founded as an artistic laboratory by Laura Halsey Brown in San Francisco in 2008, based on research/art in New York and the Netherlands since 2000.
senseofplace LAB develops projects and art works that connect people to place. The context of art is used to heighten community voices, regarding places that matter to them. Markings is an on-going project in which people are invited to fill out tags printed with “This is where…” - with their memories of places. The tags are added to flags and then photographed. This collaborative version with the Lexington Club Archival Project documents memories that people had in/of The Lex, the last lesbian bar in San Francisco.
