HEDGE: walking, talking, value, geography and social organisation 


Friday to Sunday, 23-25 November 2012


Jointly
facilitated by Critical Practice Research Cluster and SSW, you are
invited to a weekend program of participatory events which will explore
modes of cultivating and harvesting values with reference to sculptural,
social and geographical forms. We aim to interrogate how these things
resonate with significance and how this might be different.

What
kind of spaces and values organise rural areas? Are they any different
from those in urban metropolises? What are their distinctive
characteristics?

HEDGE
is part of Critical Practice's current exploration into VALUE from
various and perhaps even contradictory perspectives. Our aim is to
explore modes of evaluation and mechanisms of valorisation as situated,
localised and embedded. Over the next two years, the research cluster
aims to produce a body of publicly disseminated resources concerned with
current changes in value.

The
programme will take place over the weekend of the 23rd - 25th of
November, and will kick off with evening drinks in Huntly on the Friday.
Walks, talks, and other activities will take place throughout the day
on Saturday and on Sunday morning at Scottish Sculpture Workshop and the
surrounding area. Food will be provided for by SSW on Saturday; there
is limited accommodation available at SSW.

Notice: please bring appropriate footwear and warm clothing.
