More Images of the Trajectory Installation

Some more images of the Trajectory Installation at Leicester University, Richard Attenborough Centre for the Arts in November 2013.

Projects for 2014

Over the next few months I am looking to develop some of the projects listed below. These are in early stage development and thought I would use this blog site as a means of sharing information throughout the process.  As each project grows (or dies) I will post the new details here. I am particularly keen to make contact with people, organisations and artists I do not currently know and hope that sharing information at an early stage may stimulate interest and new creative opportunities.

Trajectory Installation - Information

TRAJECTORY

8^th & 9^th of November, 2013

Embrace Arts, Richard Attenborough Centre, Leicester University.

A new installation by multi media composer, Andrew Williams developed as a part of his role as Leverhulme Artist in Residence at the University’s Space Research Centre.

Trajectory uses multi screen video projections and still images within a unique multi speaker audio installation composed using sound/data from space recorded by space craft, satellites and long wave radio. Continuously developing over two days it will present an artists perspective of our Earth, space, current research and future challenges for humanity.  

"The earth is the cradle of humankind, but one cannot live in the cradle forever."

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, 1895

CHORUS 1 - A New Audio Composition

Representing Re-formation

A new video screen for Representing Re-formation has been created by Andrew Williams, Leverhulme Artist in Residence at the Space Research Centre, University of Leicester.

It employs the 3D laser scan of the monuments of Thomas Howard, 3^rd Duke of Norfolk, and Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond, both in St. Michael’s, Framlingham, Suffolk, as the basis of an artistic re-imaging.

Both monuments were originally designed to stand in the Cluniac Priory Church in Thetford

The video can be seen as a part of the 'Thetford's Lost Tudor Sculptures' Exhibition at the Ancient House, Museum, Thetford, Norfolk until the end of March 2014 (information provided below).

Thetford’s Lost Tudor Sculptures

ANCIENT HOUSE MUSEUM,THETFORD, NORFOLK

On until 29 March 2014

Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, planned two elaborate tombs for Thetford Priory. One tomb was for himself, the second was for Henry VIII’s illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond. However, the tombs were never finished.

After Thetford Priory was closed some parts of the monuments remained in the Priory, others went to Framlingham where Thomas Howard was buried in 1554.

In the 19th century two of these pieces were discovered in Thetford and donated to the British Museum. In the 1930s more fragments were excavated.

Today, researchers have tried to reconstruct what the tombs should have looked like, using fragments from archaeological excavations, 16th century manuscripts, 3D laser scanning and computer aided design software.

This exhibition reunites all these pieces - bringing together loans from the British Museum and English Heritage for the first time - and attempts to realise the sculptors’ original designs for Thetford’s Lost Tudor Sculptures.

Visitors to the displays can also see films, models, interactives and portraits which set the scene all displayed within the Ancient House, a Tudor timber framed building from the period. The extensive ruins of Thetford Priory, an English Heritage site, are a short walk from the Museum.

Trajectory at Embrace Arts

It has just been confirmed that Embrace Arts will hold a series of Trajectory events over a two day period in November (8th & 9th) These will take place within a multi media installation using still images, video and sound. Trajectory (working title) will display some of the material developed during the residency at the Space Research Centre and will also provide the opportunity to present current research to a wider audience. The programme is very much still under development.

Trajectory - is currently a research and development project which will lead to more events in the future at a regional and national level. As a result this event gives scope for experimentation and the opportunity to develop new ways to communicate or comment upon research and the work undertaken by the SRC.
