SUMMARY:Fuse
DESCRIPTION:FUSE is a project from the University of Brighton’s Interior Architecture students\, exploring the possibilities of re-purposing the existing fabric of urban spaces and landscapes.  \nThe London Road viaduct runs through the main axis of the city\, dominating the skyline of Brighton. Built in the 1840s for the Brighton-Lewes and Hastings Railway Company by the locomotive engineer and railway architect John Urpeth Rastrick\, the sharply curving structure has \n27 arches and around 10 million bricks. It is listed at Grade II* for its historical and architectural significance and still carries the East Coastway Line between the main station of Brighton and London Road. \nThe intention of FUSE was to provide a series of spaces for musical jams\, formation or improvised dances\, collaborations\, recordings or gigs\, enabling collaboration between musicians\, performers\, dancers and choreographers. Echoing the New York ‘high line’\, this project sought to create a cultural promenade\, fusing the multi-layered functions and history by making venues of collaborative power\, connection and intersection.

SUMMARY:EARTH at ONCA: An Evening with Chris Drury and Daro Montag
DESCRIPTION:This March\, ONCA is delighted to host EARTH\, a new commission and selected artworks by internationally acclaimed land artist and ONCA patron Chris Drury.  At 7.30pm on Saturday March 12th\, come to ONCA for a very special chance to hear Drury and fellow earth artist Daro Montag discuss their work. \nDrury’s EARTH works explore themes such as the endurance and survival of organisms in hostile environments. The collection features soil pigment works like Rhone Carmargue and Mani/Ouse alongside Destroying Angel Nevada and Cloud 9\, thought-provoking sculptural pieces made with strung earth materials.  There are gene sequence works – the Life in The Field of Death series – and works which use mushrooms as a metaphor for life\, death and regeneration.  One of the artworks is interactive – a whirlpool on the wall created by each gallery visitor adding a single muddy fingerprint to the evolving spiral. \nDaro Montag will bring his RANE-CHAR project to ONCA’s basement and courtyard as a complement to EARTH. In RANE-CHAR\, biochar (charcoal) is produced and distributed as a means of raising awareness of\, and mitigating\, climate change. Inspired by Montag’s participation in the 2009 Cape Farewell expedition to the Peruvian Andes and Amazon\, the project has since evolved to consider species extinction and carbon’s life force. \nThis event will be BSL interpreted.
