Hinterland: Projects along the River Trent
published by The Reading Room, 2009
ISBN 978-0-9563390-0-3
This edition of three volumes comprises documentation of site-specific art projects realised along the river Trent in Nottingham. Curator Jennie Syson created Hinterland as an examination of a specific geographical quadrant, which encircles the city and its waterways.
This study has taken the form of a series of temporary installations, study events, exhibitions and performances by artists from the immediate locale and beyond. Each artist’s work had represented a tributary to the riverside area the project has plotted a course which traverses town, countryside, and suburb via a network of streets, waterways and cyclepaths.
Contributor to Periphery
published by YH485 Press, 2009
Limited to 1000 copies with 50 copies reserved to hold fish and chips in the borough of Great Yarmouth.
This is the first major collaborative publication by YH485 Press who have been working with London based curatorial initiative gymnasium to realise *periphery. The collaboration is the result of a project gymnasium initiated for the annual Out There Festival in the seaside town of Great Yarmouth for which three local artists were commissioned to produce moving image works responding to their locale.
The resulting videos were shown on a large screen situated along the ‘Golden Mile’ on Great Yarmouth’s seafront. Rather than produce a catalogue relating to these works, gymnasium had in mind a newspaper that would bring together voices from diverse disciplines on one common theme – ‘periphery’
Each artist was invited to include an image and text relating to their view of ‘periphery.
Artists included in the paper publication are: On the Edge Research, Jeremy Miller, Alice Carey, Mike Pearson, Rosemary Shirley, Duncan Higgins, Joanne Lee, Lawrence Bradby, Evi Grigolopoulou, Ann Churcher Clarke, Emma Cocker, Ian Hunter, Jo Robertson, Jonny Aldous, Lee Triming, Andrew Pepper, S Mark Gubb, Jennie Syson, Georgina Barney, David Berridge/Hyun Jin Cho/David Johnson/Pippa Koszerek, Dean Kenning, Exocet, John Plowman, My Villages, Bruce Ayling, Theo Turpin/Frederico Campagna, Fiona Woods, David Reid/Fiona Maclaren, John Newling, Kathleen Coessens/Marie-Francoise Plissart.
