Welcome to Art Language Location 2016! Join us as the ALL2016 wagons roll into town to bring you the very best in studio-fresh experimental art from the UK and beyond.
This year we are delighted to welcome over 40 artists to Cambridge, creating a potent mix of installations, interventions, and explorations at Anglia Ruskin University and locations across the city. Amongst many highlights, don’t miss Daniel Cockburn’s multi-channel video installation at the Ruskin Gallery, Philip Cornett and Paul Kindersley’s alternative estate agency at the ELAN project space, and the interactive, internet-streamed live performance by the Female Laptop Orchestra.
Alongside the playful and the carefree we also have several thoughtful and thought-provoking explorations of topical and contemporary issues. Les Monaghan shows portrait photographs from his local Syrian community and Sally Stenton investigates the disappearance of artefacts from the Aleppo National Museum, whilst Ana Mendes deals with digital identity and Rosy Greaves tackles digital currency.
All of this has been made possible by the support and enthusiasm of our project friends, the hard work and commitment of our lovely committee members, and the generosity of our sponsors and location holders. We would like to extend particular thanks to our primary sponsor Anglia Ruskin University, our major award sponsor Cambridge Assessment, to Cambridge Festival of Ideas, and to Arts Council England for their significant contribution.
So take a look round the ARU campus, find the artworks around town, and check out our website for online work and more information about pop up happenings and how you can get involved.
And we would love to see you at one of our events too. Join us at our Opening Party, book yourself into our one-day Symposium on 15 October and visit us at Bloomsbury Festival in London.
We hope you enjoy our annual offering of artfulness.
Visit our website at artlanguagelocation.org for more information and to book for the symposium.
