As part of the Practising Place programme, In Certain Places is pleased to announce the latest essay commissioned in collaboration with The Double Negative - a UK-based online magazine featuring a selection of the latest in arts, design, film and music.

The magazine is hosting a series of new, jointly commissioned texts by geographers, sociologists, cultural theorists, artists and experts from other fields, which explore the relationship between art practice and place.

These texts form a continuation of the Practising Place events - a series of public conversations between artists and researchers from other disciplines who share an interest in specific aspects of place.

The current essay, Inhabiting the Edge: Tricksterism and Radical Liminality by geographer Les Roberts, explores ideas about edges and liminal space, with reference to the work of artist David Jacques. The text forms part of an ongoing conversation between Roberts and Jacques, which began at a Practising Place event in Preston last year and can be viewed online at: http://incertainplaces.org/projects/liminal-landscapes-assembly-enclosure-the-west-lancs-coast-david-jacques-in-conversation-with-les-roberts/
