7. BOATELIER RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY
Contents May Vary are inviting artists to become 24 hour residents aboard the Boatelier narrow boat which is traveling to 3 destinations on the Aire & Calder Navigation in West Yorkshire in October 2010.
About Boatelier:
As part of Over Yonder in collaboration with East Street Arts' Social Club 2010, Contents May Vary have produced Boatelier which uses the alternative, ready-made exhibition and performance space of a narrow boat navigating the Rochdale Canal for the location of an exhibition of three event-based works. Each artist has produced a participatory event for Boatelier which takes the idea of connecting the twinned locations of the Aire and Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, England and the Ruhr Valley in Germany and explores the social, historical and political similarities and differences.
From the 16th to the 18th of October, Contents May Vary will navigate the boat from Sowerby Bridge through to Todmorden, Each day they will moor at an advertised location where they will present their event based works. Throughout each event they will collect artefacts which will be added to a collection on board the boat, accumulating throughout the journey.
From the 19th to the 21st of October, Contents May Vary will make the return journey from Todmorden to Sowerby Bridge inviting members of the public aboard the boat to experience the collection and the results of the events. Refreshments will be provided and visitors can discuss everything from art to boating with the artists.
Schedule:
Saturday 16th October: Sowerby Bridge
Sunday 17th October: Hebden Bridge
Monday 18th October: Todmorden
Tuesday 19th October: Todmorden
Wednesday 20th October: Sowerby Bridge
Thursday 21st October: Hebden Bridge
The Residency Opportunity:
Artists In Residence will join the Boatelier crew and will have the opportunity to develop and present additional exhibits to the Boatelier collection.
At the advertised times and locations, residents and visitors are invited to join Contents May Vary and the Artists In Residence aboard the narrow boat for a cup of tea or glass of wine to enjoy, discuss and contribute the events.
The results of each residency will be shown as part of the on board exhibition as it travels along the Rochdale Canal and will be then exhibited as part of the Social Club 2010 finale at East Street Arts' Union 105 in Leeds.
There is no fee or material/travel bursaries available. Accommodation aboard Boatelier is free.
