N55- WALKING HOUSE


WALKING HOUSE is a result of a specific project initiated by Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridgeshire. N55 was asked by Wysing Arts Centre to collaborate with a group of travellers in the area around Cambridge, where there has traditionally been a large population of travelers living in a symbiotic relationship with the settlers, making a living as seasonal workers on the farms.

ontology: a new work by Cheryl Field

“There was much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little of that which might have excited disgust”


from “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe.



It is this friction between the poetics of the abject and the direct visceral responses of our physiology that informs this new work by Cheryl Field. Exploring material properties that evoke the bodily to provide an encounter between the writhing forms and their audience, she invites us to question the potential for manipulation in the complex territory between object and viewer. Laden with connotations of the corporeal, the installation attempts to draw us into our own physical and psychological apparatus, mapping the disparities highlighted by the work between disgust and attraction, what is apparent and the intricate, veiled processes that lead us to form our response to what is presented.

Preview: Saturday 18th October 7 - 9pm

19th October - 9th November 2008

Pedal Power - a commission for Stavanger 2008






I invite you all to follow my adventures in Stavanger, Norway. From 22nd-30th August, 3 pedal generators will be located around the city in various sites including schools, gyms, shopping centres and on the street. At the end of each day the energy stored in batteries will be harvested to power a lighting system for a pedestrian walkway beneath the city road bridge.
For more up to date information please see www.justincarter.info or www.justincarter.info/blog
See you all in September...best wishes, Justin

Edinburgh art students 'shame' tutors

Students at Edinburgh College of Art have humiliated staff by staging a rival degree show, saying their tutors were disorganised and failed to turn up for lectures.

The group, from the prestigious college’s School of Drawing and Painting, organised a show separate from the traditional exhibition of final year students’ work as a way of voicing their frustration at what they say was staff neglect.
