One of the 8 artists selected to make new work for the Burton's collection, Luce Choules will be giving a talk at the museum:
Luce Choules
Guide74 performance lecture
11th March 7pm
Burton Art Gallery & Museum, Bideford, Devon
Free (Booking advised)
Guide74 is an artist project exploring spatial dynamics in the high mountains using experimental fieldwork. Using a format of photographic image, spoken word and physical objects, Guide74 leads an audience on an expedition to the Alpine regions of France – a journey of many parts exploring ideas of interrelated geographies and events.

While this event is not specifically about Luce's commission for the Bideford Black project, it will give a flavour of how she works and thinks. For the Burton project, Luce is developing Seam - a scripted large-scale, dynamic photographic installation (conceived as an event throughout the exhibition), and associated items. Find out more about her work here.
