"Bronze, material of tiresome town square spectacles
Bronze, memorial to puffed up tin pot generals
Bronze, blind translations by the foundaries
Bronze, deaf to tactile sensibilities
Bronze, no feeling, no touching, no seeing through mind and hand and eye."
Truth to materials, written by Gwyneth Herbert, 'Barbara and Henry - The Musical' with artist Mel Brimfield, Platform 2014, Site Gallery.
Today, an incredible performance by Mel Brimfield and Gwyneth Herbert took place in the gallery, with the 'Choir on Wheels' vocalists and set of musicians. We saw the first edit of the film, Barbara and Henry - The Musical, along with live renditions of songs written by Gwyn, inspired by Hepworth and Moore.
"Then when I were in me teens With a satchel full of beans I remember one encounter with a lass She stood rigid in the mist With an angling to be kissed And I wondered at her angles and her mass"
Barbara and Henry Place in the landscape - duet, written by Gwyneth Herbert, part of Barbara and Henry - The Musical, with Mel Brimfield. Site Gallery Platform residency, December 2014.
This three-day conference explored the complex relationship between sculpture and performance over the last century and into the present. Much research has been carried out on performance and live art more generally in recent decades, but this conference re-examined the subject through our understandings of sculpture today.
