HATCH: IT'S ABOUT TIME
DATE: Wednesday 10 November 2010
LOACTION: Nottingham Castle Museum and Gallery 6pm until 9pm & Castle Pub, Castle Road 9pm until late
Nottingham-based performance and live art platform, Hatch, has invited sixteen artists to respond to notions of time.
Nottingham-based artist and filmmaker Frank Abbott revisits his involvement in creating The Tales of Robin Hood 20 years ago and rewrites its architecture onto the Castle Green. British Antarctic Survey artist in residence, Chris Dobrowolski, presents an artist’s talk at the Castle about the time it took to get to the Antarctic and what he found when he got there. Nottingham-based visual artist and performer Hetain Patel experiments with ‘stand up’ for the first time at the Castle Pub. His work-in-progress reflects on the time he spent growing his hair to explore his cultural identity. Medium Rare, a collective of Nottingham Trent University students and Southpaw Junction, recent graduates from De Montfort University, present time-themed performance installations en route. Other work inhabits unusual locations around the Castle including one-to-one performances in the gatehouse and the caves and on the museum courtyard.
Hatch: It’s About Time is supported by Sideshow, Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery and Embrace Arts at the RA centre (Leicester). Hatch is a peripatetic platform for performance work based in Nottingham established in 2008 to transform the regional live art landscape through festivals and events.
