Beacon Bimonthlies will take place in three Lincolnshire districts: East Lindsey; North Kesteven and West Lindsey, hosted where possible in unusual heritage locations within the community, not usually open to the public. The events will feature presentations from invited guest artists, taking the form of performances, powerpoints, film screenings or talks. Audience members will also be invited to participate, by showing examples of their own works and responding to the host venues for presentation at future meetings. Audience members will not be restricted to the visual arts although invited guest speakers will be visual artists. Danica Maier’s artwork derives from an interest in textiles, craft, women’s work, pattern and repetition combined with transgression. Initially, the work appears pretty and decorative, yet once the viewer begins to experience the work from various distances within the space the imagery reveals its true self. Originally from Philadelphia Maier has curated and widely exhibited internationally including galleries in Korean, England, Paraguay, Chile, United States, Lithuanian, and Pakistan. Maier has also participated in numerous residency programs including Braziers International Artist Workshop in the UK, was artist in residence at the Fundación Migliorisi in Asuncion, Paraguay, completed a textile research residency with VASL in Karachi, Pakistan through Gasworks and did the apprenticeship at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia.
