What’s On? - Kestle Barton

Katie Etheridge works across disciplines to make performances and interventions that invite a multi layered exploration of place. She was recommended to Kestle Barton by the psycho-geographer Phil Smith, author of Mythogeography: A Guide to Walking Sideways (2010). In Land SLIP, a new work commissioned by Kestle Barton for Frenchman’s Creek, Etheridge invites audiences to become trespassers in time, walking and unravelling the lost, hidden, and imagined histories of the Creek, slipping between the realms of the senses, the imagination, and the potent atmospheric life of Frenchman’s Creek. The piece will be performed twice during the exhibition. It is scheduled to coincide with the 2011 Daphne Du Maurier Festival dates alongside several other Kestle Barton events.

{ghostship}
events-archive

Rupert White has created a projection piece {ghostship} for the Frenchman’s Creek exhibition at Kestle Barton (16 April – 22 May 2011). White is interested in layered meanings and associations that attach to places: to placescapes rather than landscapes, and the experience of living in Cornwall as somewhere that is relatively rural and relatively remote but connected to other places by the technology of the internet etc. {ghostship} relates to Helford as the setting for a pirate story and to contemporary notions of piracy. The piece will be projected outside the Kestle Barton gallery at select times during the exhibition. Admission is free. Part of the 2011 Daphne Du Maurier Festival Programme and a series of scheduled events at Kestle Barton on these days.

Sunday 17 April 2011 from 7pm – 8pm
