This week 15 students and 4 staff from Staffordshire University will embark on a retreat in the Peak District for a weekend of walking, exploring, looking and responding - considering the landscape and the work of important British Artist Richard Long.
This project is funded through the Tate Artists Rooms programme, and also by Staffordshire University.
Prior to going on the trip, students have taken part in an introductory session, setting out a starting point for looking at Long's work, and exploring the impact that Long has had on contemporary practice and practitioners from the 4 subject areas which the students are studying: Animation, Fine Art, Music Technology and Photography.
We will be accompanied on the trip by artist Tim Knowles whose work often involves walking.
The retreat will be 3 intensive days of looking, walking, thinking, experiencing and then responding and documenting - with a view to create interventions and collect materials for an exhibition early in 2014.
The students and staff will use this space to record their findings and explorations.
