The Clearing - Part II

Posted by Ollie on November 3rd, 2010

‘The Clearing is a space defined by nine Beech trees growing in soil constructed through the histories of their hinterland. My hope is that the clearing will be happened upon by many and that the site will become a poetic convergence of material and meaning; a place of peace and illumination.’
JOHN NEWLING

This two part project was commissioned for Hinterland in 2009, and the first part took place at BioCity Laboratories in Sneinton, where the artist conducted a number of experiments. In this first phase of the project the laboratory housed a hydroponics system which nurtured and grew nine Beech trees.

This event will happen on Friday 12th November. For more details about the event please visit the Sideshow 2010 website. To book your place for this afternoon event, including transport contact jennie [at] hinterlandprojects.com
