Tributaries – Harriet Tarlo and Judith Tucker

~ theotherroom ~ Leave a comment

The 2013 Holmfirth Arts Festival sees the culmination of a two-year commission of poet Harriet Tarlo and artist Judith Tucker whose collaborative project focused on the land between Digley Reservoir and Black Hill, in particular the intricate convergences of the tributaries of the Holme River. Since last year’s festival, work from the project has been shown and acclaimed in places as far afield as Lyon, France and Minneapolis, U.S. Now their final showing of old and new work, covering all seasons and featuring new perspectives on this familiar landscape, comes back home to “upstairs at Up Country”, showing in shop hours throughout the festival. More at the Holmfirth Arts Festival site.

A group exhibition realised by Sarah Sanders and developed into a collaborative project with Julie Del’Hopital, Ian Irvine and John Lynch.

Carefully chosen artists have been invited to respond to the theme Android, originating from the Greek words ‘andro’ meaning man (or human) and ‘eidos’ meaning like or likeness. These new artworks are varied in media and together create an intense visual and audio experience to captivate the viewer.

Confirmed artists: Matthew Bamber, Tom Baskeyfield, Sandra Bouguerch, Margaret Cahill, Nina Chua, Julie Del’Hopital, Paul Dodgson, Pat Flynn, Daniel Fogarty, Evi Grigoropoulou, Ben Gwilliam, Antony Hall, Ian Irvine, Laurence Lane, John Lynch, Daksha Patel, Evangelica Spiliopoulou, Beth Ward. Denis Whiteside and Jacqueline Wylie.

Live Performances from Naomi Kashiwagi and Sarah Sanders plus an artist talk will take place on 8th June, 2-4pm.
