Artranspennine03

Diverse locations, Hull

Revealing the Transpennine Region

Artranspennine03 is a transregional exhibition of publicly sited contemporary art to be held across the North of England from 23rd May - 16 August 2003

Curated by Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson this is the second in the Artranspennine series. And whilst the budget for the show has been slashed from £3million in 1998 to a mere £530 in 2003 the show will, in all other regards, follow in the footsteps of its predecessor.

With an opening exactly 5 years to the day that ATP98 opened, and presenting the very best in contemporary public art, this show will bring together 50 artists working in public sites between Liverpool and Hull.

The projects being shown include:- a text work situated on the blanked out windows of a disused waterways office by Claire Hope, a protest march along the transpennine trail by Dave Beech, a computer program which automatically rings up public telephone boxes by James Brown, the removal of 1 cubic foot of earth from a hill in Lancashire by Oliver East as well a project to infect the transpennine landscape with the pox by Astrid Greenberry.

Work is going to be shown within city areas as well as in a range of rural locations. Charles Quick is causing the street lights in Leeds to come on during the daytime. David Osbaldeston is setting up an exhibition of Poussin inspired café scenes in a fairly small library in Derbyshire. Pippa Hale is placing souvenir in the museum shops in four cities in the transpennine region. Jen Southern is recreating George Cawley's historic first manned flight over Yorkshire in its 150th anniversary year. Another artist, an individual who operates under the name S5 Curator, is organising an exhibition of temporary public sculptures around Leeds. Twenty three artists are participating in the S5 curator project although they, like the S5 Curator, are unknown to the organisers of Artranspennine. Details of the locations of the sculptures will be posted on the Artranspennine web site as the information arrives.

Some artists who participated in the first Artranspennine are returning for this second presentation. John Newling, Graham Parker, Martin Vincent and Duncan Hamilton all participated in ATP98. Lawrence Weiner is even contributing the same work - a site specific sculpture made for Hull which is being relocated to a new home in Radcliffe. Truly it has become a transpennine work of art.

Curators Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson, 'We're getting really very excited. The show is gonna be an absolute whopper! Art of the most inventive and subversive nature will be sneaking into public sites all over the North of England. No one asked us to organise the second edition of this show but given the brilliant ideas that the artists have come up with we know that its going to make a lot of people very happy. And that includes the art loving public between the Humber and the Mersey.'

Artranspennine was established with a large scale exhibition during the summer of 1998. The exhibition, called ATP98, was organised by The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds and Tate, Liverpool and was always intended as the first in a series of such blockbuster shows. For a variety of reasons no subsequent ATP exhibition has ever been mounted and in this sense the Artranspennine brand had become vacant. Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson invited other artists to participate in the second in the Artranspennine series with the intention of keeping open the idea of a transregional exhibition of contemporary art.
