InPrint poets collaborate with city artists' group
In the midst of all the excitement of the Paston project, all the InPrint poets have also become involved with the Norwich 20 Group of artists, who are organising a collaborative exhibition called Voicing Visions in May.
Our experience in collaborating with InPrint artists has been invaluable – and continues, of course – but it has been a real pleasure to meet and work with people outside the group.
Lisa D'Onofrio is working with bronze sculptor Vanessa Pooley; Caroline Gilfillan with another sculptor, David Chedgey; and Tim Lenton with Sandra Rowney (who has produced paintings of Norwich from a unique perspective) and Ruthli Losh-Atkinson (whose semi-abstract work stems from a visit to the Scandinavian tundra). Former InPrint member Rupert Mallin is also involved, and he is partnered with Linda Chapman: they have collaborated on work centering on Norwich Railway Station.
Voicing Visions, which will involve 80 leading Norwich artists and poets, runs from May 11 to 23. Nearly 100 collaborations will be on display at St Margaret’s Church, St Benedict's Street.
Norwich 20 Group is also publishing a book, featuring photographs of the artists’ work set alongside the poems and a CD of the poems read by the poets. The recorded poetry is also going on MP3 players, to give visitors to the exhibition the option of listening to the poetry as they view the art.
We're all pretty excited about this: the exhibition breaks new ground in many ways and takes the process of collaboration a step further.
Poets reading at Colchester
InPrint poets Lisa D'Onofrio, Caroline Gilfillan, Tim Lenton and Rupert Mallin will be reading on December 12 at firstsite (The Minories) in Colchester, where the poetry vending machine is installed for the pre-Christmas pictures-and-poetry rush. The reading will take place between 6pm and 7pm, and all are welcome to this prestige arts venue, which is well worth the visit in its own right.
