Dreamtime: A Work in Progress Sharing
Join us for our first work-in-progress sharing in Undershed with artist and Dreamtime Fellow Gemma Paintin. The Dreamtime Fellowship supports mid-career Bristol artists to research, test and develop their new work and is funded by Jerram Foundation.
During her fellowship, Gemma has been investigating how resonance and collective rhythm might help us understand the overlapping personal, political, and ecological crises that shape contemporary life.
At this event you will be shown what Gemma has been working on and witness an experiment synchronising metronomes, as part of an exploration of how frequency, resonance and oscillation might connect to ideas of interconnecting crisis.
"My current area of interest is how resonance affects people, objects and situations. Are we living in a state of permacrisis, polycrisis or even metacrisis?
How are these crises influencing one another, and how do ideas of resonance and the interconnected nature of the universe help us to understand these concepts?”
