Red earth: landmark
Red Earth (Caitlin Easterby and Simon Pascoe) South East

Landmark is a great communal adventure: the creation of a chalk ring inspired by the Neolithic enclosures created across southern England 5000 years ago. For one year participants would dig and build a ring of raised chalk 30 metres in diameter, finished with four gateways carved from wood and stone. Archaeologists, geologists, architects and land managers would be invited to help design, plan and work alongside the public during the build. Interdisciplinary artists would be invited to interpret the site, the entire construction process underscored by interactive public performances and soundscapes.

Final throes

30 September 2009

 
Just to let you know, we are currently in the final throes of compiling our presentation for the Artist taking the lead panel. We thought it would be an ideal opportunity to thank everyone for their comments and contributions to date. We have carefully listened and seriously taken on board all points of view, which have been invaluable in helping us to shape our project feasibility and final pitch. Thank you. Simon Pascoe and Caitlin Easterby, Co-Directors, Red Earth
