Experimentica 1.1: Workstation

‘Exodus’ at Experimentica 1.1, Cardiff

As a part Experimentica 1.1, this years incarnation of Chapter Art Centre’s annual live art festival, I have  been invited to create a new participatory action entitled Exodus. 

 In preparation for the main action, taking place this Sunday 16th, I will retain a continued visible  presence within the space of the art centre, constructing placards at a temporary workstation in the  foyer. The text below outlines the form of the action and all the practical details for interested participants:

Exodus | Sunday 16th, 2pm: Chapter Entrance

Cardiff residents, Experimetica 1.1 visitors and visiting artists -
This Sunday you are invited to take part in a demonstration march that will move from Chapter Arts Centre into the heart of nearby Leckwith woods. Interested participants will be invited to carry blank white placards which will be made onsite at Chapter Arts Centre in the preceding days. This action, entitled Exodus, seeks to explore and question conventional ideas of policital engagment, where it may be sited and what forms it might take.

In an era where public protest and demonstration have again become pervasive and frequently employed as tools of social resistance, we have a renewed opportunity and responsibility to raise questions about their usefulness and their limits. In displacing this fundamental form of collective action from its familiar contexts, and by removing its topical content, this project intends to draw focus onto the nature of collaborative agency in a state of raw potential.

Event Information:
The group will move off from the Chapter front entrance at 2pm on Sunday, and will be returning to the arts centre for approximately 4pm, where tea and coffee will be provided for participants.

If you would like to take part, you can leave your contact details at the Experimentica welcome booth, or with James, who will be working in the foyer area each afternoon. You can also call or text James at +35387 9596949, or simply arrive at 2pm on Sunday.

As part of this walk will take place in the woods, it is recommended that interested participants dress appropriately. Protective footwear can be provided for anyone who does not have access to waterproof boots.
