Arts of Place – SEVEN STREAMS
01 August 2010
Public Art commission to produce temporary sited work celebrating Bradford's City Park
5 artists' projects presented between 7 and 15 October, managed by beam on behalf of Bradford Council and Arts Council England
See www.artsofplace.org.uk
My work SEVEN STREAMS is an investigation of Bradford Beck, its tributaries, history and management. Combining video installation with a live research project, the public are invited to visit Pop Up in Centenary Square between 7 and 9 October to view maps, documents and films, and to contribute their own views and stories to a developing blog.
I, along with helpers, (and from time to time a local expert and representatives from the Council's Drainage Department) will be on hand from 10am - 7pm.
Each evening at 8pm there will be a free ticketed performance at City Hall, dramatizing episodes in the life of the beck.
