Palace
Intrusions
A
year long public arts project produced by Artmusic and curated by composer and
installation artist Helen Ottaway and site specific artist and performer Melanie
Thompson. Conceived during a month's artists' residency at the Bishop's Palace
in September 2006 (Somerset Art Week), Palace Intrusions has been designed specifically
for the City of Wells and the people of Mendip.
From
October 2007 to September 2008 a series of art events are taking place in the
public areas around the outside of the Bishop’s Palace, Wells. These events
or ‘Benchmarks’ take many forms: musical performance, dance, sculpture,
live art, sonic walks, lectures, banquets, photography and lots more...
The
theme of the project is Inside and Outside – where we choose to sit, what
we choose to see and what goes on around us.
Visit
the Bishop’s Green and follow the moat to catch a series of extraordinary
happenings.
An
ongoing exhibition at Wells Museum documents each benchmark throughout the year
and the project will culminate in a spectacular live finale inside the Bishop’s
Palace Gardens in September 2008.
All events are free.
