Your tutors will bring to bear their background in the UK’s innovative poetry scene, introducing you to the approaches of British and American experimental poets as a means of encouraging you to play and take risks in your own work.

~ theotherroom ~ Leave a comment

Since October 2011, Harriet Tarlo and Judith Tucker have been collaborating on a series of walks, drawings and poems around the cloughs and becks of the Holme River. Their work conveys a sense of the symbiotic shaping of land and water both by each other and by human interventions, as well as their own conversations with the landscape and with each other. Work from Tributaries has been shown at the Holmfirth Arts Festival, 2012 and 2013; Closer to Home: Artists Re-consider the Local, East Street Arts, Leeds, 2012; Shadows Traces, Undercurrents Catherine Nash Gallery Minneapolis, 2012; Arts and Geographies Exhibition, Lyon, 2013; Landscape, Art and Uncertainty Southampton City Art Gallery 2013-14; Plymouth University, 2014 and North Norfolk Nature Festival, Greshams, 2014.

Harriet and Judith are showing a small selection of drawings and poems from their Tributaries collaboration at Bank Street Arts, Sheffield from 6-28 June 2014.

The free Launch of the festival and Private View of the work takes place on 6 June from 6.00pm and will feature Geraldine Monk’s Midsummer Mummery directed by Alan Halsey. Please see invite attached.

You can book here for Harriet and Judith’s talk/reading about the Tributaries Collaboration on 13 June, 8.00-9.00pm — http://www.midsummerpoetryfestival.co.uk/events/harriet-tarlo-and-judith-tucker/

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.

The Ground Aslant

~ theotherroom ~ Leave a comment

“Over the past 40 years or so, British poets have been remaking the pastoral. It has been a violent business. What Raymond Williams once severely called the old “enamelled world” of pastoral poetry has been worked over, its certainties cracked and shattered. Long gone are those shepherds and shepherdesses idly enacting class hierarchies. Toxins have seeped into Arcadia; “nature” is a mess of our own manufacture. Out of the static conservatisms of an ancient form has come a series of countervailing modes: the anti-pastoral, the counter-pastoral, the radical pastoral, the post-pastoral.”

The Other Room’s second outing proved to be as wonderful as the the first thanks to the amazing line-up. At the start of the first part of Alex Middleton’s reading you can hear some people talking who proved difficult to bargain with but they do leave after about 3 minutes so persevere and enjoy.
