Kath Wynne of 'One.C' Will talk about her work and the major problems facing emergent artist curators, Steven Paige of 'Outsider' and 'More Cornwall' will talk about the project, and what he thinks the major obstacles and solutions are for artist led projects and Blair from The Exchange will talk about 'Transitions' as an example of how a gallery can work with Artists agendas, and emergent practitioners.

one.c goes to broomhill
september 2007 part of the Devon Art Works, open studios event
Broomhill Art Hotel, Barnstaple, North Devon

germination consists of the work by four newly graduated artists from Dartington College of Arts and the University of Plymouth, Dani d’Emilia, James Topple, Kath Wynne (in collaboration with Pete F davies), and Robson Cezar.
The show will question the roles we play in our society and in our relationships with each other and therefore with art. Each artist has produced a work that raises issues, that combined gives a powerful oversight to the perspectives of young artists living in Devon today.

The Inspection and Observation Unit, April 2007

In a measured, controlled scientific approach to recording and historical preservation, the IOU shall conduct a series of inspections and observations. In this experiment the Unit shall document the village of South Brent; its communication methods; its recreational zones; arteriole transport routes; consumerist strategies and methodologies; in order to ascertain the component structures and functions. Once these results have been collated we shall begin the comparative study to Chateauneuf Du Faou, both settlement areas have been 'Twinned'. The same process of evaluation shall be under taken in Chateauneuf Du Faou. The final results shall be exhibited in order to reach conclusions regarding the Twinning - will these two places, both in Rural Locations (Devon and Brittany) share the same molecular formations to warrant such signage and status? Are they in fact Twins?
The work exists as a limited edition self published title - print run of 5
1 edition was donated to the South Brent Twinning Association, to be presented to the Chateauneuf du Foau Twinning Association, Summer 2007.

My intention was to experiment with the coordination of communication to allow each individual to be themselves, express themselves and co-create the evening. My aim was to get everybody to actively participate in the shaping of the "Social Sculpture". We engaged in discussion with a talking circle, we came up with a structure for the evening and we improvised within it.And so I'd like to Thank Kath for this opportunity, Pete and Eva for their space, Bea, Bongani, Charlie, Dana, Emilie, Jake, Jerome, Olly, Thomas and Tom for their Time, Faith and Engagement, and Alexis, Marianne, Nathalie, Nebojsa , Ralph and Richard for coming
