Ex-Lab
• Ex Lab is a visual arts project responding to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, a 95 mile section of stunning Dorset and East Devon coastline.
• Ex Lab brings together artists with earth and social scientists to investigate our understanding of this special coastal environment.
• Ex Lab will present new creative work arising from this arts / science dialogue during July - September 2012 set against the backdrop of the Olympic and Paralympic sailing events taking place in Weymouth and Portland.
• Ex Lab has five exciting new commissions taking place across Dorset. You can find details at www.bigpic.org.uk
Ex Lab at Hive Beach
Bridport Arts Centre and PVA Media Lab have commissioned an exciting project based at Hive Beach, working with artists’ studio Proboscis (www.proboscis.org.uk), and partners the Hive Beach Café and the National Trust.
Called Storyweir, the commission will be developed over the next few months, starting in November 2011, as Proboscis artists Alice Angus, Gary Stewart and Stefan Kueppers research and collaborate with geographers, earth scientists, the café and communities on the coast at Hive Beach, exploring how the human story of the Jurassic coast and the geological history influence each other.
You can follow the project at http://proboscis.org.uk/tag/storyweir/ and http://exlabproject.wordpress.com/
