​
This blog creates a further space for participants to share their reflections, experiences and images of the event or gallery exhibition...or to showcase further responses or experiments that it provoked in their own work.

PLACEing Objects Day of Dialogue and Dialectics was conceived as a shared "Crucible" space: an open container where the living archive of embodied knowledge or “ingredients” in the room could be opened up, gathered, sifted, grouped & re-grouped. A curved Crucible vessel is by nature open, but with the potential to be complex within. A dynamic space, with properties of rocking and tilting that allow for ease of entering, but also ease of spillage, chance accident or chaos. The day aimed to foster an approach of listening, attentiveness and “being with”, in order to recognise those relationships or connections. A place where the ingredients and outcomes of the day: written iterations, actions, spoken discussions and exchange…could bubble, mix, swirl, swill, bump, marble…or be set in rhythm over time.

PLACEing Objects Exhibition Text
PLACEing Objects brings together 15 artists who share a willingness to dance on the edges of artistic practice. By paying attention through the senses, listening and creating new combinations, they each aim to establish a personal encounter with places.
Objects and materials, texts and performative acts, are allowed to enter the space between the human body and site, combining like ingredients, to create a new choreography of exchange, response and meaning.  The locations themselves, with all their elements, forms, traces, narratives and histories are welcomed in, to contribute to equally, demonstrating a shared openness towards outcome.
Visitors are invited to enter this space of playful encounter, imaginative possibility and reflection.
