Items related to Visualise: Making Art in Context
From tales of a transgenic green bunny to a singing painting, from computer generated lifechrams to a soundwalk at dusk in Cambridge's fashionable arcades, this publication conveys some of the myriad happenings which characterised Visualise, a programme of public art, curated at Anglia Ruskin University in 2012. Funded by the university through the Percent for Art scheme, Visualise brought new life to hard streets, providing opportunities for public engagement in challenging visual art and sound installations, temporary events and exhibition. It connected in direct and indirect ways to perceptions of Cambridge, as context and as site of scientific discovery and technological inventiveness. The book weaves the history of Cambridge School of Art and its Ruskin Gallery (the place where Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd played his first gig and Gustav Metzger, renowned founder of auto-destructive art, received his first arts education before the end of the Second World War) with today's digital developments. A series of commissioned essays provide intriguingly personal insights into how world leading international and local artists create lasting 'mark and meaning' (Eduardo Kac), working within contexts of historical time as well as in physical space.
