ABSTRACT
Freeman's Wood is a plot of land on the edge of Lancaster, where the interests of the local community have collided with those of global capital. The contemporary art project, "Landed (Freeman's Wood)," takes the situation of conflict over this plot as an appropriate example through which to explore the topic of landownership and its effects on people's lives. The plot of land known as Freeman's Wood is located on the edge of the city of Lancaster, in North West England. The app is entitled 'TRESPASS'. It tells the story of Freeman's Wood from the perspective of people who have used it. 'FREEMAN'S WOOD – THE GAME' involves verbal negotiation between the players. It is intended to encourage the players to consider the points of view of the various stakeholders with an interest in a plot of land. Goldin+Senneby have used this plot of land as a stage from which to present ideas about landownership.
