In a time of concern over rising food, fuel, and environmental costs, earth:NOW:being features work created by artists Valentin Manz & Christine Cynn inspired by Church Farm Ardeley over a 16-month collaboration with the high-welfare, ecological farm. Church Farm aims to produce a maximum variety of food sold directly to the public, using 50% less fossil fuels from farm to fork. The exhibition will include an immersive video installation, series of evolving collage works, and collaborative sculptures made during the event (free/open to all ages). The exhibition will also show selected works inspired by futurist ecology submitted via an open call to artists. Experimental filmmaker Christine Cynn has worked for 13 years challenging viewers to explore the emotional resonances hidden in the cracks of political tension. Sculptor/ painter/ performer Valentin Manz creates large-scale, site-specific installation performances out of locally sourced materials. *Cafe/pub on site- see website for full details- RSVP please!
