Saturday 12th December, Sheffield
Grow Sheffields Artist in Residence, Bob Levene has worked in collaboration with some of the local residents & growers to create interventions, installations and diplays or to simply open their gardens to the public for one afternoon only. The Imagined Winter Garden Trail is a chance to see the gardens and growing spaces of Sharrow in a new light, it will play with and awaken you to the unused or neglected spaces in our neighbourhood, sharing the visions, achievements and memories of some of Sharrows Growers. For more information visit The Imagined Winter Garden Trail
I’ll be showing Handmade at REopen, Pooles 2nd Open Art Exhibition, and a celebration of the act of Reusing, Reassembling & Rethinking, making new work out of old ideas, recreating in a new form and a new style, giving well known materials, objects, forms, ideas, concepts and behaviours a completely new life and appearance and approaching it in a subtle of radical way. For more Information go to Kube Gallery
I’m pleased to be exhibiting my Experiments for Microphones series.

Inspired by the North East’s proven history of producing experimental work of the highest calibre, the exhibition presents a series of ground-breaking performances showcased alongside video works and iconic archive footage to create a rare picture of experimental performance in the North East now…and then.

Grow Sheffield is an active network of individuals and groups who promote urban organic food growing. They have a number of projects which you can find out about on the Grow Sheffield website. Over the next five months I’ll be artist in residence on the Communinity Growers Programme, which aims to get more people growing to help increase the production of local organic fruit and vegtables in the city. I’ll be exploring the gardens, backyards and windowsills of the local participants. You can read more about how this evolves in my blog.
