Extending this tradition, Project Space 2017 forms the visual arts element of Hyde900\u2019s broader, Heritage Lottery Funded \u2018Hyde Abbey \u2013 the Lost Minster of King Alfred the Great\u2019 project and for the first time, is offering bursaries to artists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project Space<\/strong> will run over the summer with artists working publicly in the Hyde Abbey precinct, responding to its rich cultural heritage and the site as it is today. The artists\u2019 process of research and development as well as the resulting finished work may be seen and engaged with by visitors. The aim is to produce visually interpretative and conceptually rigorous explorations of the Hyde Abbey story while considering its lasting significance. At the same time, contemporary artists\u2019 working practice will unfold. Documentation of the project will appear on the newly launching website in October as a long-term legacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>Call to Artists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hyde900 seeks high-calibre, research-led artists to submit proposals for 6 x \u00a3300 bursaries to research and respond to the narrative and site of \u2018Hyde Abbey: Lost Minster of King Alfred the Great\u2019 as part of the broader programme of events, walks and talks taking place in the abbey precinct in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifically, artists are asked to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>choose either the first (7 May\u201326 Jul) or second (26 Jul\u201326 Oct) stage,<\/li>\n<li>conduct visual research in the abbey precinct\u2019s public spaces for an equivalent of 18 hours of their choosing over<br \/>\nthe stage,<\/li>\n<li>*produce final display\/ an installation\/ intervention for exhibition at the end of their stage,<\/li>\n<li>conceive and conduct a 2-hour public engagement activity, ideally during exhibition phase,<\/li>\n<li>insure themselves and their work,\u00a0provide a risk assessment if necessary,\u00a0liaise with site stakeholders directly and seek\u00a0permissions where required\u00a0provide a brief artist\u2019s statement\/journal and photographs to document progress, provide content for promotional activity to ultimately form an online legacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>*Please note,<\/strong> the scale of artist\u2019s projects should be commensurate with the overall 20- hour engagement and bursary, so while we seek proposals that are site-specific, challenging and ambitious in concept, we do not expect highly finished or high budget finished artworks for final exhibition, rather we expect works to be ephemeral, low tech and materially simple. Similarly, well-developed working stages would also be acceptable at final exhibition if they demonstrate in-depth research for a yet unrealised, larger scale work.<\/p>\n<p>Artists may wish to collaborate with others, e.g. writers or musicians. Artists are encouraged to engage with other Hyde900 activities, such as the community archaeological dig in late April or various talks and walks over the summer (see the website).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>Artists might utilise one or more heritage aspects, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the Winchester School or style of\u00a0illuminated manuscripts e.g. Benediction\u00a0of St Aethelwold (British Library), which &#8211; was held at Hyde Abbey<\/li>\n<li>Cnut and Emma&#8217;s cross &#8211; now lost<\/li>\n<li>Abbot Aston&#8217;s crozier (V&amp;A)<\/li>\n<li>The Hyde capitals (St Bartholomew\u2019s &#8211; church\/ Winchester Museum)<\/li>\n<li>The Hyde Abbey seals and documents\u00a0(Winchester College, Records office &#8211; London etc)<\/li>\n<li>Re-use of stones, timbers, glass and tiles &#8211; (Hyde900\/ Winchester Museum)<\/li>\n<li>Anglo-Saxon pilgrimage and relics<\/li>\n<li>Hyde Abbey monastic life<\/li>\n<li>Archaeological processes &#8211; loss, recovery &#8211; and re-imagining in Hyde<\/li>\n<li>King Alfred the Great and family<\/li>\n<li>Hyde900\/BBC\u2019s \u2018Unmarked Grave and\u00a0the Search for Alfred\u2019 story<\/li>\n<li>Secular life around the Abbey precinct<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>In order to explore broader themes, for example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>memory<\/li>\n<li>cultural heritage<\/li>\n<li>mortality<\/li>\n<li>loss and remembrance<\/li>\n<li>re-imagining<\/li>\n<li>kingship\/leadership<\/li>\n<li>mortality<\/li>\n<li>community<\/li>\n<li>religious\/secular relationship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>How to apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proposals must be lodged by midnight Tuesday 2nd May.\u00a0Please see the Submission Guide in the Visual Arts section of the website at www.hyde900.org.uk<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>Further enquiries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please email the project curator, Sophie Cunningham Dawe \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:sophiecd@me.com\">sophiecd@me.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year since\u00a02010, Hyde900 has worked with visual artists to produce a range of exhibitions and events.
