Luke Fowler visited Abbeyview for the first time on Monday 11th June 2007.
Visiting the Abbeyview area of Dunfermline was intriguing. I've only ever passed through Fife, so it was good to get the opportunity to visit a town I knew little about. Abbeyview seemed impossibly quiet when I arrived and whilst we walked around. Nicola is employed as part of the regeneration scheme, set up because the estate has comparatively high unemployment levels and a low health rate. We spent the afternoon discussing what role invited artists could play in this scheme. Artists that make work in Abbeyview will provide a platform for contemporary art, in a place where one had not already existed. My proposal is still developing, though I'd like to consider something that looks at the particularities of the environment of Abbeyview and its current regeneration process.
