'The Clearing is a space defined by nine Beech trees growing in soil constructed through the histories of their hinterland. My hope is that the clearing will be happened upon by many and that the site will become a poetic convergence of material and meaning; a place of peace and illumination.’
John Newling
This two part project was commissioned for Hinterland in 2009, and the first part took place at BioCity Laboratories in Sneinton, where the artist conducted a number of experiments. In this first phase of the project the laboratory housed a hydroponics system which nurtured and grew nine Beech trees.
Newling's piece opened up the ‘historic situation’ of material culture, evolving his project through a series of vital conversations between nature, environment and society. This event is the final ever event for Hinterland Projects and marks the conclusion of a series of artists works which studied the River Trent and the local environment. www.hinterlandprojects.com
