NEWS & EVENTS

Take a look at this performance project created by member
Jeff Higley and requesting support

Chris Drury at Schloss Werdenberg:
Three installations at this Swiss Castle for the Schloss Mediale Festival starting May 25th.
see the posts on the blog for the previous 2 weeks: http://chrisdrury.co.uk/blog/



"The three-day summit is a mix of formal, informal, and creative contributions and is an academic conference with the feel of an arts festival.  We take advantage of the lush surroundings of the Dartington Estate, with work happening indoors and out.  Expect to come away exhausted, with a multiplicity of new ideas.  If you are interested in how creative people interact with the world around them, how the arts can speak about nature and the challenges facing the world, how place and community can be at the heart of creative choices, how our identities and place in the world is defined by what we call home, or if you have something to say on anything related to these topics, this event is for you – whether you are presenting formally or taking part in the discussion as a delegate."

The natural and social heritage of our landscape is etched into the very rocks that surround us. It is this fusion of things ‘natural’ and ‘social’ in what we perceive as a permanent and sometimes monolithic form that provides such a stimulating concept for our creative investigation. By looking and engaging with both the physical and social presence of stone in the context of the Nidderdale Landscape, ‘Layers of Response II’ aims to stimulate responses which might help us re-examine our perceptions and perhaps open up new ways of looking at the landscape in general.

Hosted by Nidderdale Visual Arts, Landscape and Arts Network and Yorkshire Quarry Arts(?) through a programme of visits, talks and workshops, the weekend event will provide another opportunity to use the magnificent landscape of Nidderdale as a source of creative inspiration. It is perhaps an opportunity to develop ideas from the original ‘Layers of Response’ event in 2009 where the theme was looking at the different layers and levels of the landscape.

This event is open to anyone with an interest in interrogating the landscape and is not restricted to artists. Indeed, our aims are to facilitate discussions which blur boundaries and cross-fertilise disciplines. We will not be aiming to produce resolved end products but will be concentrating on investigating, sampling and sharing ideas.

Workshop limited to 30 people (10 people per group). Choice of workshop with Sue Lawty, Sue Harrison and Paul Harris on a first come first served basis.
