Hey people...just a heads up. If it’s still raining like this at 7pm we’re going to have to postpone the light painting workshop. Expensive cameras don’t like being wet and I’m sure we wouldn’t find it very pleasant either!

Two artist talks in one week?! How spoiled we are. Come join us at 7pm tomorrow night for a talk from Mike Collier

Singing the World: The Dawn Chorus

Imitating with the mouth the fluid voices of birds came long before
men were able to sing together in melody and please the ear.

Lucretius (94–55BC): De Rerum Natura

In this talk, Mike Collier will describe the process behind the making of a series of images initially inspired by listening to a dawn chorus in a Northumberland woodland garden—a choir of sixteen birds heard early one morning in mid May. Together their songs, represented variously as digitally manipulated sonograms and musical transcriptions, form the basis of a series of screen prints, music, digital prints and paintings.

The work isn’t copied directly from birdsong but IS drawn from a close study of it. Mike has approached the experience of the dawn chorus in a number of different ways, collaborating with printmaker Alex Charrington (Charrington Editions), composer and musician Bennett Hogg and natural history sound recordist Geoff Sample.

He has looked at the relationship between the natural world, its specific cultures and cultural ecologies, and our own sense of culture/s. The work loosely describes how individual bird species interact through song in the dawn chorus—exploring ways of visually and musically re-invoking these patterns of cultural interaction in a more-than-human world.

The prints and music (by Bennett Hogg) examine ways of showing how we might better understand our complex relationship to a more-than-human world, enabling us to value the whole world as a living ecology of cultural differences.

Tonight ‘trail/trial’ will be shown as part of ‘Project/Poetry’ at 7pm at The Station House in Durham, curated by and Lee Mackenzie as part of their collaborative residency . —-
‘trail/trial’ looks at the indirect reflected ways we receive information and asks open ended questions about how we assimilate this knowledge via our personal and social interactions.
How do we identify connections and form new neurological pathways? How does mirroring affect and create relationships? To what extent is our interaction with our surroundings and each other a process of building, of becoming? .
