Pelican of London

The work aims to “encapsulate through an imaginative interpretation, the spirit and wider cultural vision embedded in the fibre of this ship and in its connection to place, Weymouth Harbour.”

The b-side festival is part of London 2012 Cultural Olympiad by the Sea and Maritime Mix.

Gary Stewart, Stefan Kueppers and Alice Angus of Proboscis
Commissioned for Ex Lab, “Story Weir” is inspired by the rich mix of physical and social history, folklore, scientific knowledge and contemporary stories found in Burton Bradstock, the Jurassic Coast and at Hive Beach

Meet Alice Angus at the Spring Tide Festival, Burton Bradstock on 19&20 May.
“In that ephemeral space of flux between the land and sea the continual cycles of sun, tide and sea effect changes larger than we can imagine but also are felt by humans on a daily basis.” Alice Angus

Ex Lab offers a vibrant mix of contemporary visual arts commissions and will be a unique creative celebration responding to the Olympic Experience, the Jurassic Coast and the sea. Ex Lab is part of London 2012 Cultural Olympiad by the Sea and Maritime Mix.

The studio is delighted to announce that we have co-commissioned Proboscis, Gary Stewart and Stefan Kueppers to work with us at Burton Bradstock. We will work in partnership with Bridport Arts Centre to produce ‘Story Weir’ for Ex Lab 2 in 2012.

Proboscis will work on location at Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock exploring how the human story of the Jurassic coast and the physical geography influence each other. They will create a new event in sound and video that will be experienced in the area in 2012.

Proboscis are Alice Angus and Giles Lane working with artist Gary Stewart and technologist Stefan Kueppers. They most often work outside art galleries with local people and communities and collaborate with scientists, technologists and architects.

Ex Lab press release 1st nov 2011

http://www.publicartonline.org.uk/whatsnew/projects/article.php/Ex+Lab+%E2%80%93+art%2C+science+and+the+coast++

Ex Lab is a visual arts project responding to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, a 95 mile section of stunning Dorset and East Devon coastline. Ex Lab brings together artists with earth scientists in a collaborative project investigating our understanding of this special coastal environment. The project will present new work arising from this arts and science dialogue during July – September 2012 set against the backdrop of the Olympic and Paralympic sailing events taking place in Weymouth and Portland.

Hive Cafe, Burton Bradstock

The material from 3 sound-walks in West Dorset [PVA MediaLab studio to Salt House, West Bay] was mixed and these archive recordings have been included on ‘O Colecionador de Sons’ – (Rádio Zero / RUC / SFC).
– RUC – Rádio Universidade de Coimbra | 107.9 fm | www.ruc.pt
– Rádio Zero (ISTL) | www.radiozero.pt

These sound-walks [Bridport to West Bay] were led by artists ivon oates, David Rogers, Marcus Leadley and Joe Stevens at the audioLab10 sound symposium ‘The Language of Place’.

Each artist guided symposium participants along a different route and employed a unique approach whilst walking. Marcus interacted with the objects and spaces found along the route. ivon aimed to draw the sounds. David concentrated on the sounds heard along the walk. Joe stopped for a number of listening exercises and then discussed the sonic landscape we walked through.
