Residency Opportunity in Huntly: The Science of Place
16 Oct 2007
The Science of Place is a 3 month residency opportunity for an artist to work with the community of Huntly in Aberdeenshire, Scotland to explore and reflect its identity(ies). The aim of the residency is to a) develop a branding strategy for the town and b) advise on its implementation.
Deadline for aplications: 31st October 2007
Deveron Arts is a contemporary arts project in Huntly, a small rural 4,000 people-strong town in the North-East of Scotland. The town – identity, context, population, politics, visible history – are the starting points for the work of the artists who we invite to come, live and work here. Deveron Arts has neither gallery space nor an arts centre. Instead, The Town is the Venue is our guiding leitmotive. For each project the team, together with the artists, looks for a fitting context. These ‘found venues’, naturally populated by the people of the town, serve as a stage for a range of performances, installations and exhibitions.
Aberdeenshire Towns Partnership (ATP) Huntly, in collaboration with Deveron Arts, wish to involve an artist to work with and engage with the community in creative and inclusive consultation exploring the identity (ies) of Huntly and its surrounds. The overall aim is to identify what makes the identity of the place in order to lead to the best brand(s) or strategies to promote the town both to the local community and to its visitors.
