migration

Middlemiss and Fox have chosen "Migration" as the theme for the project because it has resonances at all geographic levels and therefore for many in our audience and our artistic communities. The term is used as loosely as possible, to include human migration both out of and into communities, but also the migration of ideas, cultures and natural phenomena, so that individual artists can find some part of the theme which resonates with them and their work. Migration encompasses the idea of change, of the individual influence on the collective whole and the collective whole influencing the individual. the front room projects itself is part of this synthesis, attempting to move the artistic audience from its traditional haunts of St Ives and Newlyn to the more prosaic environs of Hayle, and drawing in a new audience for conceptual art from the pubs, shops and caravan parks of Hayle.
