‘These Pits & Abysses’ CLF Theatre 2016
A thematic event that marked the end of a Leverhulme residency in the Geography Department, RHUL. Using the excavation of Gully Cave as a point of departure, the programme combined talks by geographers Prof. Harriet Hawkins, Prof. Danielle Schreve and Dr. Rachael Squire, with a film by Gordon Matta Clark, artwork by Daniel Clark, music by EDEN and film about Gully Cave expert, Pierre Schreve by Lily Grimes. The event was designed and co-ordinated by Flora Parrott
A year-long residency at the RGS, as part of which I invited a group of 12 artists (see below) and geographers to spend a weekend caving and camping in the Mendips, visit the archives at the RGS and construct an artificial cave at David Roberts Art Foundation. The project culminated in a publication made in collaboration with Camberwell Press With thanks to: Beth Collar, Shenece Liburd, Harriet Hawkins, Natasha Rosling, Francesco Pedraglio, Fay Nicolson, Daniel Clark, James O’Connor, Milo Newman, Alan Gray, Allen Abramson, Tania Perez Cordova.
