*Boatelier Residency Opportunity*
Contents May Vary are inviting artists to become 24 hour residents
aboard the Boatelier narrow boat which is traveling to 3 destinations on
the Aire & Calder Navigation in West Yorkshire in October 2010.*
*..........................................................................................................................................................................................
*_About Boatelier:_*
As part of Over Yonder in collaboration with East Street Arts' Social
Club 2010, Contents May Vary have produced *Boatelier* which uses the
alternative, ready-made exhibition and performance space of a narrow
boat navigating the Rochdale Canal for the location of an exhibition of
three event-based works. Each artist has produced a participatory event
for *Boatelier* which takes the idea of connecting the twinned locations
of the Aire and Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, England and the Ruhr
Valley in Germany and explores the social, historical and political
similarities and differences.
>From the 16th to the 18th of October, Contents May Vary will navigate
the boat from Sowerby Bridge through to Todmorden, Each day they will
moor at an advertised location where they will present their event based
works. Throughout each event they will collect artefacts which will be
added to a collection on board the boat, accumulating throughout the
journey.
>From the 19th to the 21st of October, Contents May Vary will make the
return journey from Todmorden to Sowerby Bridge inviting members of the
public aboard the boat to experience the collection and the results of
the events. Refreshments will be provided and visitors can discuss
everything from art to boating with the artists.
