Claremont Studios, 12 Claremont, Hastings The Poor Law Union is a creative partnership which seeks to understand and define the individual and its society: is society just another word for the group or has it become an entity unto itself, capable of an existence in spite of its members? For Coastal Currents, The Poor Law Union has walked the Old Hastings Parish line documenting their journey and gathering objects along the way. These artefacts form the basis of a topographical enquiry addressing the nature of boundaries, man made and natural, seen and unseen, and the implication of these boundaries on those living within and outside them. The culmination of this investigation is a multi-media installation which presents their ideas and observations and the inevitable questions that these raise.
