In addition to Georgina Barney's event 'Farming Fiction' at Sideshow Alley Cafe at One Thoresby Street, the artist will also present an exhibition in the old stables of Wollaton Hall’s Yard Gallery.
Price: free
Asking 'how may the farm be represented by contemporary art?' the theme ‘Exchange and Value’ highlights the relationships that make up a project in the rural; the economy which drives real agricultural experience; uncertain aesthetics between making and producing.
Georgina Barney, Rebecca Cotton, Kate Genever and Helen Thompstone are Midlands-based artists for whom the farm is a continual reference point. Kate and Helen are farming ‘stock’ joined by Lauren Goult a farmer’s daughter, from Dundee (originally Northern Ireland). Georgina and Rebecca look in, from elsewhere: Romantics? How do Genever and Thompstone negotiate their positions within the social, geographic space that living and working on a farm provides? How do Barney and Cotton’s readings of the countryside commentate on imaginary and perceived rural spaces? A collaboration between Barney and Anne Douglas enacts the 1971 Calendar score of Allan Kaprow and results in a new drawing score, gifted to John Plowman. Paul Barnes’ painting of a happy pig, under a moonlit sky completes the exhibition.
