    Research Online research publications RESEARCH PAPER To the Ends of the Earth: Art and Environment Art & Environment By Nicholas Alfrey, Stephen Daniels, Joy Sleeman 11 May 2012 Introducing the group of articles devoted to the theme of ‘Art & Environment’ in issue 17 of Tate Papers, this essay reflects on changing perceptions of the term ‘environment’ in relation to artistic practices and describes the context for a series of case studies of sites, spaces and processes that extend from the immediate locality to the most remote boundaries of knowledge and experience. The group of articles devoted to the theme of art and environment in issue 17 of Tate Papers aims to explore new research frontiers between visual art and the material environment. The papers arise from a conference held at Tate Britain in June 2010 at which a range of practitioners and scholars – artists, writers, curators, theorists, historians and geographers – presented case studies of artworks addressing specific sites, spaces, places and landscapes in a variety of media, including film, photography, painting, sculpture and installation. The conference considered relations between artistic approaches to the environment and other forms of knowledge and practice, including scientific knowledge and social activism. The papers addressed cultural questions of weather and climate, ruin and waste, dwelling and movement, boundary and journey, and reflected on the way the environment is experienced and imagined and on the place of art in the material world. Held at a time when the emergent effects of economic crisis were intersecting with a more established sense of ecological crisis, the conference offered an opportunity to rethink the relations between art and environment, which had become central to a number of art exhibitions and publications.

This is the third and final summer conference of the AHRC Landscape and Environment programme, following those on Landscape in Theory (Nottingham 2008) and Living Landscapes: Performance, Landscape and Environment (Aberystwyth, 2009). Like its forerunners Art and Environment focuses on a key theme of the programme and brings together project holders with fellow scholars and practitioners. The panels of this conference are made up of a range of Art & Environment experts in the field: artists, working in a range of AHRC Landscape and Environment Conference media, curators, authors, and academic researchers, including art historians and cultural geographers. Many presenters have multiple identities and affiliations. We are delighted Art and Environment is hosted by Tate Britain, who are a major award holder in the Landscape and Environment programme with a project on ‘The Sublime Object: Nature, Art and Language’. We are pleased you have accepted the invitation to come to the conference, hope you enjoy the proceedings and have the opportunity to contribute in discussion, from the floor or during lunch and the reception. Stephen Daniels Programme Director www.landscape.ac.uk This conference will explore engagements between visual art and the material environment. The environments in question are natural and fabricated, interior and exterior, urban and rural, terrestrial and aerial. The visual arts in question are historical and contemporary and in a range of media.

  • Scaling the Sublime: Art at the Limits of Landscape
    SCALING THE SUBLIME: ART AT THE LIMITS OF LANDSCAPE SCALING THE SUBLIME: ART AT THE LIMITS OF LANDSCAPE Martin John Callanan Simon Faithfull Tim Knowles Mariele Neudecker Rebecca Partridge Katie Paterson Richard T Walker Curated by Rebecca Partridge and Nicholas Alfrey SCALING THE SUBLIME: ART AT THE LIMITS OF LANDSCAPE DJANOGLY GALLERY NOTTINGHAM LAKESIDE ARTS 05 Foreword As Nicholas Alfrey has highlighted at the beginning of his essay, Scaling the Sublime originated in another earlier exhibition Reason and Emotion: Landscape and the Contemporary Romantic . Mounted at the Kunstverein Springhornhof, Germany, in 2013, the exhibition was curated by Rebecca Partridge with Randi Nygärd and Bettina van Dziembowski. Since that time Nicholas and Rebecca have been discussing ways in which they might re-focus and develop its themes, refine the selection of artists and bring it to a British audience. Subsequently, there have been a number of exhibitions in Britain and overseas exploring the theme of contemporary responses to landscape and the legacy of Romanticism, often as mediated through the more recent Land art. These include Land’s End (Chicago, 2015); Setting Out (New York, 2015); In Search of the Miraculous (Newlyn Art Gallery, 2015) and Terrain: Land into Art (Hestercombe Gallery, Somerset, 2016). Scaling the Sublime does not attempt to re-trace the ground covered by these recent shows; instead it brings together the work of artists who are closely linked by their creative and in some cases personal affinities, but who have never been shown together as a group in this way before. In terms of the Djanogly Gallery’s own history, this exhibition also forms part of a strong lineage of landscape-themed surveys reaching back to its inception at the beginning of the 1990s and reflects to a large extent the strengths of teaching and research in the Art History department and the strong emphasis on Cultural Geography in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham.

  • Panel Discussion “Beyond Scientific Visualisation” on the Occasion of the Exhibition “Weaving the Universe: from Atoms to Stars”
    Panel Discussion “Beyond Scientific Visualisation” On the occasion of the exhibition “Weaving the Universe: From Atoms to Stars” Thursday 7 October 2010, 7 p.m. Schering Stiftung | Unter den Linden 32-34 | 10117 Berlin Under the title “Beyond Scientific Visualisation“ five guests from science and the arts will consider questions such as “Are collaborations between artists and scientists able to produce work capable of advancing scientific research?“, “Is art able to serve science without losing its artistic integrity?“ or “Are artistic concepts, like beauty, symmetry, and aesthetics, able to fertilize the increasingly complex and abstract visual language of science?“. THE DEBATERS ARE: Simon Faithfull Simon Faithfull is a contemporary artist whose work has been exhibited extensively around the world. Recent projects include a video-work recording the journey of a domestic chair as it is carried to the edge of space (commissioned by Arts Catalyst), a drawing project sending back live digital-drawings from a two month journey to Antarctica (an Arts Council International Fellowship with British Antarctic Survey) and an animated film developed from drawings made on a mundane walk out of London along the A13 trunk road (a Channel 4 TV commission with Arts Council England). Recent exhibitions have included solo shows in Galerie Polaris (Paris), Stills (Edinburgh) and Cell (London). Faithfull’s work also featured at the 2008 Venice Biennale. Simon Faithfull was born in Oxfordshire, UK, studied at Central St Martins and then Reading University. His practice takes a variety of forms - ranging from video making, to digital drawing projects, installation work and writing. Faithfull is also a lecturer at Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, London.

  • Ice Blink - Simon Faithfull
    Parker’s Box 193 Grand Street Brooklyn NY 11211 718 388 2882 www.parkersbox.com [ PRESS RELEASE ] ICE BLINK - SIMON FAITHFULL APRIL 7 – MAY 8, 2006 GALLERY HOURS: FRIDAY TO MONDAY 1 TO 7 PM OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY APRIL 7, 6-9 PM BEER BY CARLSBERG Parker’s Box is delighted to present ICE BLINK, a solo exhibition by Simon Faithfull. The artist has developed a practice largely based on observation using palm-pilot drawings as well as video works, where the processes involved impose themselves on the spectator as much as Faithfull’s careful choice of subjects. The latter provide a record of what the artist has witnessed, from his life in London and Berlin, to specific projects in various locations, with a diversity of subject matter ranging from the Dreamland series, for example, which documents the funfair at Margate in England, to the emptiness of the Antarctic- the subject of the present exhibition. The Ice Blink project is the result of Simon Faithfull’s “residency”, in which he accompanied the British Antarctic Survey, a long established British government project that takes scientists to the extreme remoteness of an Antarctic research station. The term Ice Blink refers to a meteorological phenomenon where a white glare in the clouds warns of the presence of invisible ice at sea, and this choice of title parallels Faithfull’s honed ability to identify and exploit the often bizarre particularities of the subjects he chooses. As such, the Antarctic proves a perfect subject for Simon Faithfull, from the sparsity of features placed on the blank white canvas of the ice floes, (lending themselves to the observational economy of palm-pilot drawings), to the inherent incongruity of man’s presence in this inhospitable desert with its unreal, even absurd parameters of scale, time and space.

  • Whitstable Biennale 2014 Announces Winners of Major Award
    - PRESS RELEASE Whitstable Biennale 2014 announces winners of major award WINNERS Whitstable Biennale is pleased to announce that the winners of its 2014 Open Submission Award are Louisa Martin and Rachel Reupke What the award means The recipients of the cash prize win the opportunity to create a new work for Whitstable Biennale 2014 providing them with huge audiences. As well as funding for the work the artist receives developmental support from Biennale curators. but really this is only the beginning. Artists who have exhibited at Whitstable Biennale often go on to be hugely successful. Showing at the festival is now seen as a career stepping stone. This is perhaps why applications are received not just from around the UK but globally. Whitstable Biennale Assistant Curator, Kate Phillimore says: "I love the fact that both the 2014 Open Submission Winners will be using the opportunity to experiment with new ways of making work and pushing boundaries. Rachel Reupke is a filmmaker but will be presenting live performance work for the first time in her career and Louisa Martin will be breaking new ground by collaborating with a dancer, set designer, and DOP to create a dynamic, multi-layered 5 part film." Global catchment area There were a massive two hundred and thirty two entries for this award. This is a very big number, given the amount of work involved in the application process and it also confirms and demonstrates a high level of interest in Whitstable Biennale amongst contemporary artists. It adds huge support to the idea that artists see the Biennale as something that will greatly benefit their careers.
