“A carefully constructed dramatic affirmation of the
transcendental power of putting one foot in front of the other” The
Herald<br />
<br />Text by Nicholas Bone<br />Design by Sans façon<br />Performed by Ian Cameron <br /> <br />“I
began walking on May 24th 2001.” A man invites the audience to come on a
walk with him. When they reach their destination, he talks about walks
he has taken, showing images of places he has visited. Audience and
performer find themselves led on another journey, as the hidden secrets
of the landscape and the constantly shifting border between land and sea
remind us that the past is always with us, whether we realise it or
not.<br />Created in collaboration with the international environmental
arts practice Sans façon, this award-winning production from Magnetic
North is a reflection on the act of walking, exploring memory, place and
the state of mind created when we walk. <br />

Here is a really interesting competition coming up:<br />
<br />
Design Talks Institute (d.talks), a design advocacy organization, in
collaboration with WATERSHED+, a part of the City of Calgary’s Utilities
& Environmental Protection Public Art program, aim to address a
particular challenge of public <span class="il">space</span>--what to do with seemingly remnant pieces of public property.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Lost Spaces design competition asks professionals and students in
the fields of art, architecture, design, and engineering to respond to
the diverse challenges of design, social sustainability, and low impact
design improvements. The ideas competition aims to explore alternatives
improving the use, public realm and ecological value of a lost space. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
A ‘lost space’ is any space that remains underutilized within our
urban environment. They might be leftover pieces, a ghost of the
planning past. Lost spaces are part of the public realm, rarely designed
to function with both social and environmental benefit to the city.<br />
You may consider a lost space as a passageway, a roundabout, space
between two buildings, a highway shoulder, or tenants of the city's
history and memory. <br />

<i>Pantone Perfect</i>, one of two projects we developed for the <a href="http://www.urbanekuensteruhr.de/en/projects/urban-lights-ruhr.73/" target="_blank">2014 Urban Lights Ruhr</a> in Hamm Germany, has been added to our website.<br />
<br />
With the assistance of the the Musée d'histoire des sciences de Genèves, Switzerland, we
recorded the exact Pantone value of each of the original 52 hues from Saussure's Cyanometre from 1787,
and faithfully reproduced them in dry colour pigments. Each hour
through the duration of the project, we followed Saussure's rigourous
but ultimately futile attempt to measure precisely and reproduce the
blueness of the sky. <br />
<br />

In spring of 2014 the Glasgow School of Art suffered a fire that destroyed the famous Mackintosh Library and all its content. Cristine Garriga, a Master student from Glasgow School of Art, has responded to the fire with a video work called <i>My Bookcase</i>, where through filmed interviews with artists who had books held in the original collection, she is helping to reconstruct the Mackintosh library with stories regarding their books and reconstituting the collection. <br />
<br />
Sans façon's contribution to the Library is <i>'<a href="http://www.sansfacon.co.uk/projects/views/views.shtml" target="_blank">Views of the West Coast of Scotland</a>' </i>which was made while in residency at <a href="http://covepark.org/" target="_blank">Cove Park</a>, in 2001. The publication was in collaboration with writer John Calcutt.
<br />

Our project for the end of the Brunel Mile in Bristol is near completion and here are a few more pictures of the progress!</div>
<br />
It
started life as an exploration of spaces and planes defining a public
space, and later morphed into a design responding more precisely to the
particular man-made conditions to create a landscape specific to the
space.<br />

<br />
<br />
The final design is a boardwalk promenade space along a meadowy landscape fed by the runoff rainwater from the adjacent building. In collaboration with <a href="http://www.cullinanstudio.com/projects/bhsmp.html" target="_blank">Cullinan Studio Architects</a> and <a href="http://www.grant-associates.uk.com/projects/bristol-harbourside-landscape-masterplan/" target="_blank">Grants Associates</a> the journey of the rainwater is celebrated with the visible drain pipes, collection dishes and open rills distributing the water onto the grassland slope.<br />
The different growing conditions (slope, orientation, rainwater runoff) are highlighted by the use of a variety of biodiversity and habitats (grasses, damp grassland, marginal vegetation and woodland groundcover). Combined with these conditions the experience of the harbour side (ruderal plants and riparian habitat) is drawn up into the Promenade.<br />

We’ve just come back from a workshop in the ruhr area for <a href="http://www.urbanekuensteruhr.de/en/" target="_blank">Urban Künste Rühr</a> and what a pleasure it was! Urbane Künste Ruhr is based on the unique urban landscape of the Ruhr Area and works together with artists, networks, and cultural institutions to investigate the core of urbanity. We’re looking forward to continue working with them.Sans façonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01384356337197438356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394583180462654510.post-37537496005182616672013-12-04T16:01:00.000-08:002013-12-04T16:01:09.060-08:00CACHER POUR MIEUX MONTRER<span style="font-family: inherit;">We'll be returning to Saskatoon on Friday to conclude <a href="http://www.sansfacon.co.uk/projects/sask/sask.shtml" target="_blank"><i>Cacher pour mieux montrer</i></a> by unveiling the 12 covered works.
