Post-Modern Plant Life: An [RHP] CDRs Artist Laboratory will provide an opportunity for a group of practitioners from fields including contemporary art, experimental music and academia to spend time together in the unique setting of The Temperate House in Leamington Spa’s Jephson’s Gardens to see how their respective practices can interact with each other and with the visually exciting and complex space.

The practitioners will be encouraged to make new work or to further develop existing projects within this new context with the intention of presenting the results to the public over the Leamington Spa Peace Festival weekend.

  • 9th – 13th: Development Period. (This will not be specifically public facing but will be taking place with the public around).
  • 11th: Open Studio. (This is an opportunity for the public to speak to the participants and to see works in progress). 10:00am – 5:00pm.
  • 14th – 15th: Presentations. (This may be an exhibition, performances, talks or something else. This is public facing and will be existing alongside Leamington Spa’s Peace Festival). 10:00am till 5:00pm both days.

I’ll be one of seven artists taking part, the others being Ryan Hughes (duh), Jake Watts, Verity Jackson, Richard Scott, Ypsmael, Tapiwa Svosve, Cormac Faulkner and Ana Rutter.

I intend to be there most days during the development period but do prod me on TTwwiitteerr to be sure. I’ll be tweeting my progress over at the #PoMoPLLab hashtag.
