Can art change the way we feel about place? Join us for an event coinciding with Tate Britain’s exhibition Turner & Constable, offering contemporary perspectives on art and environment.
Ash McNaughton, Devika Bilimoria, and n:u (melissandre varin) will present three durational performances. Working with objects drawn from British landscapes, the artists evoke experiences of estrangement and belonging. The performances explore new ways of relating to familiar places.
LADA will host a screening programme and a drop-in research and discussion space. Learn how artists have used performance to practice freedom and resistance in the British landscape.
The screening programme included:
Passion Flower – Ernst Fischer and Nicola Canavan
Landfill – Curious and Andrew Kötting
White Rock – Farida Yesmin (with thanks to Performance Art Video)
Falling Asleep With A Pig – Kira O’Reilly
The Gift – Liberate Tate
COMMUCRACY NOW! – Oozing Gloop!
Crossed Paths – Scots Pine – Miranda Whall
ouTcasT – crazinisT artisT (with thanks to ]performance s p a c e[)
