New Work Network (NWN) and Artquest release the fifth and last instalment of ‘Mixing It Up: An Intergenerational Perspective’: a series of 5 short dialogues between artists across different generations and practices. The films consider similarities and differences between the contexts, modes and conditions of respective artistic practices from the late 60's to the present day, while also looking at approaches to sustaining practice over the years both from a practical and critical perspective.
The fifth instalment features a dialogue between Hunt & Darton and Richard Layzell. Click here to view the film.
Hunt & Darton is a Live Art collaboration between Jenny Hunt and Holly Darton. Having met at Central Saint Martin’s, Hunt & Darton have been collaborating for the past 5 years approaching performance from a Fine Art background. Hunt & Darton work with spoken word, movement, sound and installation. Their work comes out of a shared interest in what it means to be human. They make work about common problems, embarrassment, human behaviour, love, life and art. They tend towards the deadpan and the absurd.
Richard Layzell is a London-based artist affiliated to ResCen at Middlesex University. His work in performance, video and installation – and with industry and communities – has been recognised internationally.His interests and areas of focus include: environmental and gender issues; architectural space; experiential learning; expanding the audience for contemporary practice and exploring the public realm.From 1996 he developed a series of innovative residencies in industry, defining the role of the ‘visionaire’, with: AIT Plc, Promise, Chordiant International and Unilever. His development of the artist’s role in redefining corporate culture and community has subsequently been applied to a series of artworks and commissions in the public realm. He is the author of The Artists Directory, Live Art in Schools, Enhanced Performance and Cream Pages.
