EVOLVING OUTLINE
As part of the Norwich Fringe Festival, happening between 27th September and 13th October 2002, we plan to pair 20 visual artists with 20 authorities and travel to the Norfolk Braods, to spend a day together exploring many different aspects of the area and having many stimulating and informative exchanges and conversations. Plans are still taking shape, and successful applicants will be kept abreast of developments in schedule, funding, exhibition venues etc at every stage.
We hope everyone will spend an enjoyable and stimulating few hours exchanging ideas, and that this will generate a large body of new art. The resulting work, made both during and after the event, will be exhibited at different venues around the city centre: video work at the Norwich Gallery, spoken work and text at the University of East Anglia and Norfolk County Council has kindly lent us Waxham barn, a 188ft medieval wonder next to the coast which will attracts a large number of visitors. The date for the expedition is Friday 23rd August, and participants will be contacted nearer the time with full details.
For those who would like it, further information on the Broads can be provided.
The programme for the day is stilll being arranged. At 10am a coach will take all participants to Ranworth church, from where participants can visit the Conservation Centre and explore the Broad from the boardwalk. Lots of boating activity can also be seen from here. After a picnic lunch we will go on to Hickling Nature Reserve. We will end with tea at Waxham Barn.
PARTICIPANTS
Among the confirmed participants are a climatologist, a science communicator, an agricultural historian, a medical historian, a white-boat sailor, a landscape archaeologist and an art historian.
