London Fields Invitation


London Fields Invitation
Rural-focused visual arts discussions for city-dwelling people

Members of the public are invited to join a new discussion group taking place in various venues around Hackney each month.

Reading list to include texts and case studies of individuals and organisations such as MyVillages.org, Tacita Dean, Fiona Wood, Grizedale Arts, LITTORAL, translocal.org, Lucy Lippard, Publicworks, Marcus Coates, Guestroom, Rosemary Shirley, Agrifashionista TV and the new generation of British nature writers.

The exact schedule is currently still in its planning stages but we expect to return to some overarching themes such as: the urban perspective of the rural, embedded practice, the rural residency tradition, peripheries, tourism and the picturesque.

Meeting on the last Saturday of every month between 3pm and 5pm, beginning June 27th 2009 at Cafe Oto in Dalston (18-22 Ashwin Street)

Please email Harriet at contact (at) gymnasium-online.org for details of source material and to register your interest.
