Fieldwork Exhibition at An Tobar
Tobermory’s An Tobar hosts yet another innovative exhibition – Fieldwork – from 3rd March – 18th April, 10.00am – 4.00pm Mondays to Saturdays. Admission is free.
Fieldwork explores concepts of place and landscape and the work exhibited was part of the outcome of a field trip to Mull in 2008 by artists network, Land2. It includes photography, film, drawing and sculpture. It explores how art can engage with the problems and possibilities of place and landscape.
It features work by Judith Tucker, David Walker-Barker, Lily Markiewicz, Jane Millar, Gail Dickerson, Claire King, Ray Lafferty, Suze Adams, Josh Biggs and Iain Biggs.
Land2 is a creative, practice-led research group comprising a national network of artists and researchers with an interest in landscape and place-orientated research practice. The network meets regularly for exhibitions, symposiums and conferences. For more information on their work, visit the Land2 website.
In association with this exhibition, An Tobar is running two other events, both of which, like this exhibition, are in the For Argyll Events calendar. They are:
- Methods of Engagement and Articulation of Landscape - on Monday 6 April 2009, from 11.30am – 5.00pm. This is an informal symposium, hosted by Land2, on their work featuring Land2 members, invited artists and local historians, with a view to opening a discussion focusing on and around various concepts of landscape. The day will also feature a screening of ‘Source’ by Dalziel + Scullion and the interdisciplinary event will be open to all those with an interest in land based art, landscape, history and geology. Booking is advisable. Cost: £5 to include tea, coffee, soup and cake. Phone An Tobar at: 01688 302211
- The Crossover of Geology and Art - on Tuesday 7 April 2009 from 2.00pm – 5.00pm. This is a workshop by exhibiting artist, Gail Dickerson, exploring the crossover of geology and art by working with a wide variety of natural materials, including soil, peat, sand and shells. Cost is £10 and £8 for An Tobar members. Phone An Tobar at: 01688 302211
