By the mark, the deep


Friday 28 August – Monday 31 August

Matt Davies / Studio 97 Milo Newman Studio 81

Arnolfini 
16 Narrow Quay
Bristol 
BS1 4QA
 
A sound installation that delves into the submerged ruins of the lost coastal town of Dunwich.

Once one of the largest ports in England, the town of Dunwich was all but destroyed over the centuries by a series of storm surges flooding in from the sea. Numerous attempts have been made by underwater archaeological surveys to map the ruins, but still the site itself remains an enigma.

For the past seven years Milo Newman’s practice has revolved around an interest in the narrative of the town’s disappearance, and the efforts made to understand it. In this new project, By the Mark, the Deep, he and fellow artist Matt Davies have collaborated in an attempt to explore the submerged remains. Together they have undertaken a series of journeys by boat into the North Sea, returning with a collection of sound recordings made through the use of hydrophones and modified contact microphones. These recordings explore the loss of the town and its memory by engaging directly with the salt water and silt burying it. 



This event is produced in collaboration between ONOMATO and Arnolfini.

Ice Limit 


Scott Polar Research Institute 
University of Cambridge
Cambridge CB2 1ER 
11th June – 5th September 2015 
http://www.spri.cam.ac.uk/museum/exhibitions/

Emma Stibbon / Studio

Drawing on an outsize scale, Stibbon works with delicate media including watercolour, graphite, carbon and aluminium powder on paper. Her work focuses on wilderness and the remote and how this occupies our imagination, in particular taking the idea of glaciers and ice shelves as symbols of change and transition. The work emerges from her recent fieldwork to the Antarctic Peninsula as artist placement with the Scott Polar Research Institute and the Royal Navy, and a later trip to Svalbard in the High Arctic with thearcticcircle.org. The exhibition raises questions about perception of our environment and how this experience is communicated. Recording has always been an important part of Polar Science and historically most expeditions included an artist. The exhibition includes an early example of this including Edward Wilson’s watercolour studies of bergs. Stibbon’s work explores how the act of drawing continues to offer a critical method of recording and re-presenting the artist’s perspective, and engaging the audience’s imagination with the Polar environment.

There is also a recent online interview http://glacierhub.org/2015/05/21/artist-emma-stibbon-talks-glaciers-and-bearing-witness/

FOUR on Anglesey 


Online release of artist's documentary 
The installation remains in place until October 2015

Richard Broomhall/Studio 26

Anglesey >>> for exact locations >>> http://www.menaiholidays.co.uk/fouronanglesey
Richard and his cameras were invited to follow painter Anthony Garratt over 10 days as he created ‘Four on Anglesey’; an extraordinary, free outdoor summer art installation. Four large 2.5 metre canvases will be painted in situ at spectacular island locations in the North, South, East and West, and left for visitors and residents to enjoy. 
The paintings will encourage people to explore the beauty and diversity of the Anglesey landscape, enjoy being outside and provide a creative and thought-provoking take on each side of the spectacular island. Castle, ocean, island, mountain and historical views will all be captured on canvas.

When complete, the giant works of art will be lifted onto bespoke rusted steel easels and left in the landscape, on or near the Anglesey Coastal Path in the very spot they were painted. The creations will be left exposed to the elements until October 2015. Whilst they have been carefully designed to withstand the inevitable rigours of storms and weathering, as the paintings are immersed in the landscape they will intentionally transform in character as the light and weather changes around them.

Using Richard's photography, the project has been covered by The Times, The Sunday Times, Telegraph, Independent, Coast Magazine, BBC and ITV. Anthony wrote and performed the four piano pieces for the film which had unrestricted access throughout the project. Come and join Richard and Anthony on their journey
