Whilst walking around the site of the new Newcastle University Business School building we gazed over a massive area of cleared ground behind the glistening new construction. I mentioned a performance from the last AV festival by artist who brought people onto the site to witness the extraction of coal in order to make the ground a sound foundation for the new huge building projects planned there. Her name is Lara Almarcegui, see the link in the menu bar above and have a look on the AV festival website below too.
You might want to look at some of the other projects that took place in the 2014 programme…. a lot of over lap with themes we will cover in The Art of Straying.
