Walking Festival

Posted on April 16, 2010 by

There is no Internet in the flat I am staying in which is why the blog is not being updated very often, so writing this from work at the end of the day. Hopefully this will be sorted very soon and I can start adding pictures.

As part of the Walking Festival currently taking place in Huntly I will be taking part in Deveron Arts Hamish Fulton walk taking place on Sunday. This involves a 5 hour walk to the edge of the Cairngorms where we will watch Hamish as he disappear’s into the distance to spend 21 days in the Cairngorms. Preceding this on Saturday will be an Arts breakfast and talk with Hamish and Deveron Arts current Shadow Curator Mary Jane Jacobs, a choreographed walk in Huntly, and a Tim Brennan manoeuvre up at Battlehill Woods. Ending the night with a Céilidh, and possibly the famous Strathbogie Disco.

Tonight at 6pm, however I am going on Tim Brennans walk around Deveron Arts Town Collection, where he will talk about the various art works in the collection.

AV Festival 2010

Posted on March 4, 2010 by

Going to the first event of the AV Festival tomorrow at BALTIC, the ‘Commissioning and Collecting Variable Media’ symposium run by the Contemporary Arts Society and Crumb.

The decription of the symposium is:

‘The work of artists who use new media art, live art and other ‘variable media’ is increasingly being drawn into our national public collections. Excellent models exist where major works are acquired or where artists are commissioned specifically to create works for collections. This symposium offers an opportunity to learn from pioneering institutions that have worked with artists.

Keynote speaker: Benjamin Weil, Chief Curator of LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial de Gijón, Spain.

Other confirmed speakers include: Laura Sillars, Programmes Director, FACT; Lisa Panting, Director, Picture This; Lois Keidan, Director, Live Art Development Agency; Graham Harwood, artist.
