Artist In Residence – Pendle Hill Landscape Partnership

Community Archaeology Outreach Artist In Residence. Timescale: Monday 24th June to Friday 30th August 2019

Budget Inclusive of Fees, Materials and Vat: £4,000

 

Brief

In-Situ, as part of The Gatherings strand for the Pendle Hill Landscape Partnership, seek to commission an individual, collective or organisation/company to be artist in residence on the Outreach programme of the Community Archaeology strand of the Pendle Hill Landscape Partnership. The artist will attend, document and reflect on their experiences, resulting in a proposed artwork (or series of artworks) that explores questions: What is Archaeology in 2019? Who can get involved, why and how?

The aim of the Community Archaeology outreach programme is to introduce archaeology to non-traditional audiences; those being people who may not have previously considered it as being for them. An intern from UCLAN will design and deliver a series of sessions in July and August 2019 around Pendle Hill targeted at young people, people from BAMER (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic and Refugee) backgrounds, families, and people who are dealing with mental health and social isolation issues

Working closely with the intern and the Community Engagement Officer, Community Archaeology Co-ordinator and intern, the artist in residence will attend the sessions, document their own and other participant’s learning and experiences (through a journal, blog, social media, etc.) and create a proposal for an artwork in any medium (print, video, digital/blog, performance etc.) that would enthuse audiences about archaeology and demonstrate why it is relevant to them.

 

Outputs

a) A blog / website / social media story documenting experience and learning of the residency.

b) A proposal for artwork or creative output. This may be a presentation, detailed sketch, example of an editioned artwork, trailer or treatment for a video, draft of a publication/zine, maquette or model, sharing of a performance etc.
