Northamptonshire, UK.

Thinkspace is a moving contemplative and creative space.  It is a space for the local community, developers and artists to think about their changing urban environment.   By changing public spaces with interventions by different artists, Thinkspace invites people to experience how an environment can be altered, generating an ongoing debate about the impact of space and change for Corby town’s environment. 

The first phase of Thinkspace in 2005 and 2006 focussed on Corby Town Centre.  A limited number of free CD-ROMs about phase one are available, please contact cd@thinkspace.org.uk. 

Thinkspace ran phase 2 in Kingswood, Corby, from January - July 2007,

and the Own Zone project in Whitworth Avenue in May 2007.

In the June 2009 a new Paths of Desire project was started which ran until the end of 2010.

Thinkspace is now closed. Thank you to all our supporters and to everybody who got involved.
