PaP: Mail Art exchange
My questions to the PaP group…
These were mailed out to the group with the hope that they would record an audio file of their response. I’m going to work out how I animate this anemometer character to speak their words.
PaP: In-conversation with Michael Crane
People and Place (PaP)
PaP is an artists’ peer network led by artist Laura Eldret, in partnership with MTP (More Than Ponies), and supported by ‘a space’ arts.
People + Place ( PaP) is a forum for artists exploring ideas and modes of contemporary art-making that exist at the intersection of people and place, operating in the Southampton / New Forest area. It is a framework to test and share ideas that inform participating artists’ practices. #peopleandplacemail
During the Covid 19 crisis alongside online meet-ups PaP have established People + Place (mail) as an alternative mode of discussion and communication. Sharing distinct individual experiences, whilst exploring and perpetuating IRL aspects of this period of isolation and distancing. Being an artist is how one lives, making is a way of thinking and processing the current crisis.
Art and the Rural Imagination: conference postponed
A one-day conference, in partnership with Arts University Bournemouth, which will explore ‘The Rural’ as a central concern within contemporary art practice and debate. Artists today make work in or about rural locations, producing startling visions and radical conceptions of life and space beyond the urban centres. This conference will approach ‘the rural’ by exploring relations between people and places, including the visible and invisible inhabitants that populate or traverse it. What is the lure of ‘the rural imagination’ as a site for alterity or a space of existing power relations? How might critical art discourse and practices reimagine or reinvent the rural for our present moment?
The conference will be held at a ‘rural’ venue ( a pair of treehouses) within the New Forest, a national park in the south of England, providing a suitable backdrop for exploring these ideas. The New Forest is an area that invokes multiple concerns: the cultural consumption of landscapes, tourism, ecological change, land ownership, access, animal ethics, ecological justice, and more. The conference is part of More than Ponies programme that seeks to reinvigorate the New Forest as a site for contemporary art engagement, discourse and practice.
