Nightjar

Nightjar took place in Cambridge in October 2009, presenting a series of temporary artworks and encounters between the hours of dusk and dawn. As the evenings drew in, Nightjar celebrated the city’s long hours of darkness with performances, installations and artist led walks.

Nightjar looks beyond the conventional gallery or theatre space, inhabiting the more unexpected sites of the city. Forgotten and overlooked spaces come alive with after-dark activities and familiar venues open their doors out of hours. The 2009 programme included new commissions alongside existing works adapted specifically for their location.

Luke Jerram, Plant Orchestra
Urban (Col)laboratory, Choreographing Knowledge
Jonathan Watts, Reader in Residence
Chris Parsons, Dew Sweeping
Townley and Bradby, Conversations After Dark
Amy Sharrocks, drift

Nightjar was initiated by independent curator Jo Mardell and funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and supported by Cambridge Festival of Ideas, Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Cambridge County Council, Cambridge City Council and Hotel du Vin.

Artists taking the lead

Michael Pinchbeck
Sit with us for a moment and remember.

I am delighted to be working once again along side Michael on a large scale proposal across the East Midlands.




Sit with us for a moment and remember. A large-scale public art proposal involving 2012 park benches sited in different villages, towns and cities across the East Midlands. Each bench bears a plaque engraved with the words: Sit with us for a moment and remember. For one year, the public are invited to sit on the 2012 benches at exactly the same time - 12 O’clock midday for 20 minutes. Shortlisted for Artists taking the lead and supported by Arts Council England.

As part of 'The House of Bling' exhibition at Tattershall Castle i was asked to photograph the artists for the brochure and to document their work in progress.

Over the course of 8 days, I also produced an aerial time lapse video documenting Linda Florence's grass cut pattern, Reinstated Carpet, which was shown as part of an exhibition of documentation and archive material.
