Last Minute Article Sought!

by Ruth Barker, 3 Mar 2011

Hello,

we’re looking for a writer to cover a light installation in Derbyshire, comparing it to NVA’s Speed of Light Edinburgh 2012 commission.

The Derbyshire work is Meander by Charles Monkhouse, and is taking place in the Derwent Valley on Saturday 5 March, 6pm – 10pm. The work is an Intermediate Commission for re:place

Image is a visualisation of the work Meander by Charles Monkhouse. With thanks to re:place.

The re:place website describes Monkhouse’s installation as recreating “an earlier form of the River Derwent, still trapped within its valley sides but floating high above the current valley bottom. The installation will be at night with up to 200 individual lights.” For more information, check here

You can of course write about the work if you can’t make it to Derbyshire next weekend, but it would be great to see Meander first hand. There’s no fee attached to this article (unfortunately) but we can cover your expenses.

This is a quick one, so the first person to write to me at producer@publicartscotland.com gets to write the piece. What are you waiting for?!

more later,
R.
