There are 34 places in the world called Bristol. They are ghost towns and villages, anonymous boroughs and historic cities. Some of them are slipping quietly out of existence. Some of them are so small we don't know anything about them. One of them is allegedly the site of the Garden of Eden. I am currently producing a project that brings together a range of Bristol-based arts organisations to try and respond to each and every one of those places. It will happen over the first weekend of July, involving performances, walks, installations and intimate encounters.

I'm going to talk a little bit about the origins of the project, some of the Bristols we've found out about and some of the ways the artists have chosen to respond to that. In doing so I want to open up a little bit about my unusual working practice as a producer (if indeed I am a producer at all) and it's reliance on collaboration, communality and a little bit of making it up as you go along.

Andy Field is co-director of the award-winning Forest Fringe, a community of artists making space for risk and experimentation at the Edinburgh Festival and elsewhere. For the last year he has been associate artist producer at Arnolfini in Bristol.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
