Vibrating Planet: Posts in a time of pandemic

Lockdown residency

Part I: 1 - 13 December 2020

Part II: 18 - 30 January 2021

Derry, Northern Ireland

Sue Morris

According to seismologists the earth’s hum* has significantly dropped during lockdown,  due to the decrease in human activity. However, visual artist Sue Morris is detecting a different kind of vibration – a primal tremor, a collective nervous tic, the shiver of a sick ecosystem. While the planet stills, levels of anxiety and unease are soaring. During this time of pandemic – locking down, unlocking and relocking - Morris tries, unscientifically, to document evidence of this phenomenon.

*Background hum of high frequency seismic noise.

Sue Morris was born in England and is a graduate of the Royal College of Art, London. Since the early nineties she has lived in Ireland, most recently in Derry, Northern Ireland. Her multidisciplinary practice utilizes drawing, text, printmaking, film, photography, sound and installation. Her work explores notions of the known and the unknown particularly around re-imagined and alternative histories.

Selected exhibitions include those at; the Lockhart Gallery, State University New York, USA (2012); the Kunstverein Galerie, Baden bei Wien (2012) and museumORTH, Orth an der Danau, Austria (2013), as part of the International Cultural Programme for Ireland’s Presidency of the EU; Tartu Loomemajanduskeskus, Estonia (2014); Artisterium 7, Tbilisi, Georgia (2014); the State Institute of Culture, Moscow, Russia (2016); the Cultural Centre of Moschato, Athens, Greece (2017); the 16:9 Gallery, Lawrence University, Michigan, USA (2018) and Photophobia Festival of Contemporary Moving Image, the Hamilton Gallery and Artists Inc, Ontario, Canada (2019).

This project is in partnership with St Augustine's Heritage Site and is kindly funded by Derry City & Strabane District Council, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and The Ireland Funds.

Lockdown residency

9 - 21 november

Perugia, italy

Francesco Capponi

As Italy entered its first lockdown last spring, an unconventional invasion took place in Francesco Capponi’s home: a crew of space explorers had landed. As Italy now faces new restrictions and a regional shutdown, he revisits those close encounters leaving the scene open perhaps for new cosmonauts to join the residency-orbiting mission, acting as Ground Control and documenting the invasion with his self-build camera.

Francesco Capponi is a photographer and sculptor based in Perugia, Central Italy. His work is a cross-contamination of different media and techniques, with a focus on experimental photography, combining analogical and digital processes. As a sculptor he approaches photography three-dimensionally, often building his own optical devices, from dark room equipment to pinhole cameras and magic lantern.

You can view Francesco Capponi’s projects and exhibitions here.

Fl*ooow: Orient Ornament Order

CAAKE

Fl*ooow: Orient Ornament Order

FL*OOOW: Orient Ornament Order explores differing perspectives on freedom of movement and transience through a series inter-disciplinary collaborations and invites musings upon ecology of practice as ways to address a loss of common orientations within ourselves, our world and shared futures on this planet. We are seeking sustainable ways of artistic research through processes and speculative progressions across collaborations, curation, exhibiting, performing and discussion. Where traditional disciplinary boundaries are permeable and new coordinates, or orders of being can address phenomenal, biological, political and cultural diversity as ecological forces.

– Orient explores the body’s movement and boundaries, addressing connections and relation to space, people and objects;
– Ornament pushes the sphere wider into localised patterns of (sometimes) instinctual behaviours of collecting, assembling, arranging and adorning cultural value systems;
– Order considers wider social borders – personal (abstract, imaginary, socially imposed) identity, politics, ways of being through communities and shared landscapes in an ecological crisis.

All three spheres overlap, unravelling purposeful lines of thinking, emotionally and physically as a lateral progression in creative, adaptative, knowledge and movement practices that incite questions over the ecology of practice as artistic research, asking what we can do to motivate, educate or catalyse more people to become more adaptive to unknowns and uncertainty, mediating climatic conditions to find our flow whilst not withdrawing or retreating away from hardship of truth.

The end of residency exhibition has brought together aspects of the work-in-progress produced during the residency through film, photography and collated research drawings from conversations that occurred during the residency. The artworks are responding to our understanding of ‘freedom of movement’ and consider what is an ecological practice and how this can help address a loss of common orientations within ourselves, our world and shared futures. These explorations hope to derive key critical questions for change and recovery within our current social climate as collectives working together.

NOVEMBER Orient residency featured Gail Mahon (Visual Artist & CAAKE coordinator) Jane Talbot (Writer, NLP master Practitioner) Marketa Formanova (Dancer, Choreographer)

DECEMBER Ornament residency featured Tara J Murphy (Jewellery Artist & CAAKE coordinator) Simon Mills (Film, Photographer) Kerri Nì Dochartaigh (writer, poet)

JANUARY Order residency David Blackmore (Visual Artist/CAAKE Associate) Alice Clark (Visual Artist & Performance Artist, participant) Stella Hulston (Visual artist & Performance participant) Laurie McClelland (Performing Arts Student, Performance participant)

* CAAKE’s approach as a catalyst culture is to:

– Bring together a mix of ideas, actions and voices
– Represent multidisciplinary practices across arts, aesthetics, health and physical wellbeing
– Provide opportunities for the public to engage with creative arts at the centre of our programmes, to learn from dialogues
and active practices focussed on in facing adaptive challenges within our local and global environments.

Tacit experience of the material world, in which we inhabit and belong to, proposes that movement is a fundamental way to support and encourage freedom of expression and deepen connection. Currently there are many reasons causing people to experience disorientation, from themselves and/or others, in our cultural and natural world. CAAKE develops collaborations which aim to generate creative and physical research that addresses and responds to these rising social issues.

CAAKE is a long-standing collaborative project currently being developed into a not-for-profit organisation (CIC) originally founded by Gail Mahon and continues as co-founded with Tara J Murphy. CAAKE focusses on providing platforms for experimental approaches to practice, creative explorations and responses as a research catalyst for education and intensive learning programmes. It offers the time and space for practitioners and individuals to progress, regress and play within improvisational processes. A testing ground for making grand failures and teasing out complexities and concerns, enabling progression and practice development by advancing shared knowledge between communities and groups. Projects comprise of curated collaborations and educational events through workshops, intensive residency programmes, exhibitions and discussion events.

Alessandra Giacinti

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, in April 2020 we moved all our activities online. We invited artists living in countries affected by the pandemic to share with us their experience and coping mechanisms by means of a Blog and Instagram Takeover. At Art Arcadia we don't do escapism.

As Italy entered its fourth week of lockdown, we started our journey in Rome, where Alessandra Giacinti lives with her young family. 

Alessandra Giacinti studied at Accademia di Belle Arti Rome and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and she has exhibited internationally. 

You can find out more about her work on her website http://alessandragiacinti.com

Abridged

So why are we using Google Earth as the basis of this residency? Because all artistic activity is abridged by something, by social, economic, political, religious forces or even by just luck. Sometimes this turns it into something wonderful. Sometimes it just destroys it. We’re just going to see where malediction and a corporation lets us go. The rest is all talk.

Flaneurs were never really that convincing. An invented term for wealthy voyeurism. We thought it though perfect (and funny) to be a Flaneur trapped by the cameras of a giant corporation, our wings clipped as we are pinned to the a computer screen following mostly empty roads and contained to a moment in time. Abridged in everything. Thanks to @art.arcadia.ltd and it's curator @paola.bee for putting up with us for the last two weeks. We've enjoyed ourselves so much we've even given the residency a number. Goodbye from 0 - 66.

Abridged is nearing the end of 0 - 66, our @art.arcadia.ltd lockdown residency. It has been fun as well as thought provoking. If you asked us what exactly we are, we'd have to think about it quite a bit. We are of course a poetry/art magazine but it never felt that we were just another magazine with a name and a date on it. We don't normally even have those on the cover these days. We are of course editors and curators and exhibition makers; one of us is a poet, both of us write quite a bit. We have set up archives. We have failed to set up archives. Whatever we have done has in essence been done under some aspect of the Abridged flag. Safest to say we are Abridged. @paola.bee @art.arcadia.ltd @gregorymccartney #abridged #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #whatsonds #covid19 #artaabr6

Afternoon, Abridged once more. We love washing lines. No, we're not admitting to a very very strange fetish (well OK a little). Rather there's something glorious about the humble washing line. Something spiritual in the proper sense. Not that anyone likes doing the washing particularly (though we do). We're not rich enough (sadly) to glorify the wonder of work either. And we'll leave it to others (for now) to talk about domesticity and associated whys and wherefores. It's just one of those things we love aesthetically. Like nuclear explosions. If nobody has already done it we'd love to do a washing lines of the world exhibition or publication! That's a hint! @art.arcadia.ltd @paola.bee @gregorymccartney #abridged #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #whatsonds #covid19 #artaabr6

Hallo from Abridged. We seem to have found a white hole somewhere near Pietrafitta. A white hole being a hypothetical region in space/time which nothing can enter but from which light can escape. Or possibly it is a UFO or maybe a heavenly visitor. Pietrafitta could be the new Knock. Or Area 51. We hope there are plastic Abridged souvenirs being sold. We always had a soft spot for those photos that went wrong. Over/under exposed or the like. It's strange to find one on Google Earth. Or if it is actually something otherworldly go see... @paola.bee @gregorymccartney #abridged #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #whatsonds #covid19 #artaabr6

Hallo, Abridged here again. One constant in all Post Apocalypse movie or TV series is the ability of characters to obtain a great coat (usually leather) or pair of boots. And occasionally a great hat. The lesson being is that if you want to survive Armageddon open a leather clothing shop. The Apocalypse on TV tends to be quite a macho/fetish thing also with lots of spikes and fingerless leather gloves and the like. Women always seem to find figure hugging costuming post Apocalypse. No baggy jerseys ever survive it seems. Not that we are condemning leather wearers in the future dystopia. We're just giving you some survival tips.

Afternoon, Abridged here for the second week of our residency. We have always had a soft spot for the dystopian future. Strangely enough we were never that keen on the future imagined by Blade Runner. It was all too designed (for want of a better world) for our taste. We always imagined the apocalyptic city future to look like a wet Wednesday night in January in the most boring city you can think of. With very few people around and those visible keeping their distance from one and other. The current pandemic has given us a little glimpse of such a future. Uncertain, full of fear, oppressive and kind of dull. #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #covid19 #whatsonds @paola.bee @art.arcadia.ltd @gregorymccartney #artaabr6

Hallo from Abridged. We sometimes get told we're slightly melancholy or in plainer terms bloody miserable! Of course we're not. Slightly grouchy yes, but pretty positive (before the word was ruined) generally. Power in the face of misery as Mr. Eldritch once said. We like roads also. There's a kind of hope in them. Yeah sure the destination may be pretty disappointing and they may be all uphill but nonetheless there's a glimpse of the future implicit in their foundations. Potholes too. Funding public services is another discussion altogether. And they rise above who made them and why. Kind of like people really. @paola.bee @art.arcadia.ltd @gregorymccartney #abridged #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #whatsonds #covid19 #artaabr6

Waiting for a sign... Hallo again. Abridged here once more. We have enjoyed this virtual journey so far. We don't have to put up with the mosquitos and snakes and airports. We don't have to ask directions. We do like being elsewhere. We just don't particularly like the getting there. So this has been more fun than our usual wanderings. Of course we love our signs over our way. Or more accurately we love altering our signs. You can tell the nature of where you are as you approach us. Either the London or Derry part is often scored out as if by erasing the letters voodoo doll like the offending actual place will also disappear. So we live in an Abridged City. Abridged had once an idea of actually rubbing out all the signs so that people would be on the road to nowhere. Literally. We figured that might get us into trouble though. Besides Slash City as (we think) the late Gerry Anderson (not the Thunderbirds one) called it is still our favourite name for our little bit of Eden. The part with an angel with the flaming sword and lots of gates. @art.arcadia.ltd @paola.bee @gregorymccartney #abridged #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #whatsonds #covid19 #artaabr6

Afternoon from Abridged. There is a great Hunter S. Thompson (from Generation of Swine if we remember rightly) that says that Hell is a well lighted place full of bromides and fast car where everyone is vaguely happy but they know something is missing. And all the horror and madness comes from realising that something is gone forever and there's nothing anyone can do to get it back. That absence was the terrain that Abridged explored. In fact the 0 - 17 issue had Absence as its theme. The landscapes of absence are full of anger, grief and self loathing, muddy and home to monsters. On occasion this can be turned into art and something powerful but mostly it gives us a populism that promises wholeness, restoration and escape from blame. The geographies of absence are full of golden ages forever over the horizon. And most of us still search for them in one way or another. We are few that can live without. @art.arcadia.ltd @paola.bee @gregorymccartney #abridged #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #covid19 #whatsonds #artistresidency #artaabr6

'We dream of rain and the history of the gun'. Hallo, Abridged here again. One of our favourite pastimes on bus journeys when we were young was a type of mental voyeurism imagining all the dark things occurring in the houses we passed. We would imagine urban Satanism and the rural Occult. We didn't have to imagine murder as that happened every day. It wasn't the Blue Velvet dark guilt of the Middle Class. We would have loved a great house and a picket fence. It was more probably a reaction to the overwhelming religiosity and colourlessness of that era. Of course we came to realise that the most horrible thing that could happen behind the curtains is absolutely nothing. That slow decay brought on by lack of money or opportunity that drains the life and the blood, that births despair or anger which can infect generations. We all love stories but what if is too many to be listened to? #abridged #artarcadia #lockdownresidencies #dcsdc #stayhome #staysafe #covid19 #whatsonds #artistresidency @gregorymccartney @paola.bee #artaabr6

Hallo again from Abridged. In the 1980s, in a little newsagent in a part of Derry's Watersidethat would be it's fair to say not have natural Soviet sympathies we used to pick up Pravda, the English version of the Communist Party mouthpiece in the USSR. Now we weren't fans of Leonid Brezhnev either but we found it pretty funny among the tabloids there was Cold War literature intervening in our little conflict. Obviously we had to buy it along with Zigzag, a Goth orientated magazine that documented a sub-cultural reaction to pretty grim times. Why are we telling you this? Because we imagine military and scientific personnel in this building concocting mysteriously complex plans for an Apocalypse that hasn't appeared.

Hallo again. Abridged is still On the Road (a book we never really liked - read Maggie Cassidy instead) in Italia. Like many people who were dragged to church we developed if not a religious sensibility then an appreciation of the architectures and symbolism of faith whatever that faith may be: a cross, Buddha, or even a poster of Ronaldo or Lady Gaga. We want to Believe as the poster on Fox Mulder's wall proclaimed. Mostly we're disappointed. Occasionally however there's a great guitar riff, a brilliant painting, a line in a poem that keeps us going for another while. And that's the greatest thing ever. #lockdownresidencies #artarcadia #dcsdc #covid19 #stayhome #staysafe #whatsonds #abridged @art.arcadia.ltd @gregorymccartney #artaabr6
