We loved filigrie traces by @Dr_Weez. Journeys were mapped and marked and then played at 8 music boxes located across the site.

Fantastic interactive work by @Dr_Weez
That’s a wrap on filigree traces at @sanctuarylab. What an amazing weekend of art, environment and people, including my team of student helpers who made the whole thing possible. So nice to be back to making work in public again

Playful but gently paced, The Call is an invitation to explore the site with us. On Saturday you’ll need to seek the work out as we roam around the site: join us for a wander or find the work in situ and take a while to listen to the kind voices who loaned themselves to the work.

What if we were to take the principles of fallowing the land, and apply them to ourselves as living landscapes? Join Emma @culturedmongrel in exploring the use of movement scores to bring ideas of 'fallow' into your world sanctuarylab.org/artists-202… sanctuarylab.org/artists-202…
