Intense Colour Movement

Front Page on The Space

After a long hard slog, all of the films are now up on The Space.

The reluctant anchor, Craig Morrison, one of the curators of the festival, gives a very concise overview of blinc and its dedication to Alan Turing. Lots of interesting facts about this incredibly gifted man, who was unfortunately persecuted by the very nation that he served. If you don’t know anything about Alan Turing, then this would be a good place to start. Helen Booth, Jessica Lloyd Jones, Ant Dickinson, Wendy Dawson, Steve Knight, Sean Vicary and Jobina Tinnemans all feature in interviews along side the other artists featured in the works, including, Elizabeth Ashworth, Menna Elfyn, Steffan Rhodri & Joel Cockrill.

The Space is a wonderful platform for Art and Artists and if you haven’t yet visited The Space.. then get on over there and join in..

blinc was started by Craig and Joel. as curators in 2011, this year, its twice the size, with more venues and over 30 artists.  They have curated a variety of art forms including projections, performance, dance, poetry  and installation as well as exhibiting their own work at the festival.

Craig Morrison’s initial work with Meat Beat Manifesto and his Cyber Punk designs led to his work being on permanent display at both the Science Museum in London and the V&A. He has always been passionate about Art and Film. The Alan Turing Centenary has inspired him to collaborate on two large works this year: Intense Colour Movement , a large projection piece on Plas Mawr and Thank You,  an emotional response to Alan Turing’s Epitaph re-created in neon. Both  are being streamed on The BBC Space.

A sense of place, and the interplay of sound and light within a space have been a repeated reference in Joel Cockrill’s work across a wide variety of media and creative explorations. These core interests have been the elemental influences for film, performance, audio work and collaboration for the last 25 years.

The BBC arts site The Space will feature several of Joel’s short documentary films based on the work of other blinc artists, exploring their motivation, inspiration and relevance to the centenary of the 2012 centenary of Alan Turing’s birth.
