<br />
The project has been commissioned by curators <a href="http://www.ordinaryculture.org.uk/" target="_blank">Ordinary Culture</a> and is part of their bigger project <a href="http://www.ordinaryculture.org.uk/viewfromtheeast.html" target="_blank">View From The East</a>, celebrating and responding to the history and place of Colwick Woods, Sneinton, Nottingham. Our project is inspired by the woodlands, once the deer hunting grounds for nobles of the manor. We will be developing a creative walk in the woods inspired by the woodland's tales, the atmosphere of the forest and the creatures that live there.<br />
<br />
We want to develop the walk with help from local families, so <b>dates for your diary:</b><br />
Sidelong's family friendly workshops will take place on<br />
<b>Saturdays 1-3pm 9th May, 16th May and 6th June, </b><br />
with walks on the <b>gala day on Sunday 5th July</b> open to all!<br />
<br />
Keep following for more details as we progress the project.<br />
<br />
Here's LJ admiring the View from the East:<br />

1. it would be about walking;<br />
2. it would be about curating;<br />
3. we would curate 3 walks.<br />
<br />
The first walk was to be a self-led walk where people followed a map. This was <a href="http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/3222601-dream-walking-a-sidelong-walk-in-nottingham" target="_blank">Dream Walking (2012)</a>.<br />
<br />
The second walk was to be a group walk led by us as tour guides. This was <a href="http://sidelonguk.blogspot.co.uk/p/a-walk-through-underworld.html" target="_blank">A Walk Through the Underworld (2013)</a>.<br />
<br />
The third walk was to be a walk that happened in different places but would be shared by and with participants online. This will be <a href="http://soundtransposed.com/" target="_blank">Transpose (2014)</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We will be launching this new project on <a href="http://www.nae.org.uk/event/experimentor-sharing-event/77" target="_blank">April 10th at an event at New Art Exchange</a>, 6.30pm, as well as online on this blog.<br />
<br />
In devising Transpose we had set ourselves a dilemma. Transpose was to be an online project, something that happened virtually. However, our first two walks had made it clear to us that we were interested in the physical and sensory nature of walks, be it walking at night and being dazzled by lights in dark spaces (Dream Walking), or exploring the sense of being underground in the caves with the smells, the sounds, the dampness, the feeling of remoteness, sometimes pitch black with just the sound of a voice reading or other times entering a chamber infused with the heady smell of herbs (A Walk Through the Underworld). So here we are, trying to devise a project that will continue the sensory nature of walking which is important to us, but also makes use of the virtual world. The two aims seem to contradict each other; can we do both?<br />
<br />
Transpose aims to. Transpose is about sound. It is about transposing sound from one place to another. It embraces elements of chance, yet works within a devised system. Participants will be asked to follow particular instructions but also to play with creative inventiveness within those parameters. Transpose is also about notation, finding new ways of recording, sharing and describing spaces.<br />
We are looking for people to take part in this project. Each month participants will be set a challenge, to go on a walk and create something in response to our instructions which they then contribute to the project. Contributions will be collected over a year on a <a href="http://soundtransposed.com/" target="_blank">curated blog</a>. The project will evolve over that time, and conclude with an event that we will devise which shares some of the ideas and the evolving work. We hope that participants will explore with us the nature of sound and spaces and, through taking part, begin to connect with their own place in a new way.<br />
<br />
If you are interested and think you might want to take part in this project, please <a href="http://eepurl.com/zhghP" target="_blank">sign up to our mailing list here</a> and we will keep you informed of progress. You can also follow our progress on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sidelong/151976974904965" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and on the new curated blog <a href="http://soundtransposed.com/">soundtransposed.com</a><br />

<br />
It was great to see so many people attend, we met some new people and had brilliant conversations.<br />
<br />
The sound recordings that we played at the event as part of the installation are now available to listen to by clicking on the <a href="https://soundcloud.com/sidelong-1/sets/a-walk-through-the-underworld" target="_blank">Sounds tab</a> above.<br />
<br />
Also, <i>A Box of Things</i> now has<a href="http://sidelonguk.blogspot.co.uk/p/a-box-of-things.html" target="_blank"> its own tab</a>, with a short video of what's in the box. We're pleased that these limited edition boxes are now available either by order online at the tab above or to collect in person from <a href="http://www.nae.org.uk/" target="_blank">New Art Exchange</a>.<br />
<br />
Here's some photos from the event, thanks to Andrew Postlethwaite for these - they really convey how people interacted with our light play!<br />
<br />
There are new plans afoot for our next project, we've made some interesting contacts as a result of our caves project, so keep following or <a href="http://eepurl.com/zhghP" target="_blank">join our mailing list</a> to find out more as plans unfold!<br />

We are working on our new interactive art event, ‘A Walk Through the Underworld’, to take place in the autumn. We aim to lead a series of curated walks around Nottingham’s caves in September, which explore the mysterious and fantastical qualities of the unique
environment. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivlQnRc9I3QN5PKkwb5Uq_3Jz1id7Hv9ZZPkCz1btPWGDoOQqtBadnncYbp49ppTReh-grgveYrDNijy4rjiF660n5riJckqSweJTt5rVuhrPTVHvAQZSWkr3nh51s3GyqeW-T_M0I8s4/s1600/cave4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivlQnRc9I3QN5PKkwb5Uq_3Jz1id7Hv9ZZPkCz1btPWGDoOQqtBadnncYbp49ppTReh-grgveYrDNijy4rjiF660n5riJckqSweJTt5rVuhrPTVHvAQZSWkr3nh51s3GyqeW-T_M0I8s4/s320/cave4.jpg" width="213" /></a>Deep beneath the streets of
Nottingham lies a hidden world that has been forgotten. The subterranean
labyrinth has been developing for hundreds of years and there are currently
over 450 known caves with a rich history. The caves have served as
dungeons, houses, beer/wine cellars, tanneries, secret tunnels,
air-raid shelters, and many more intriguing things. We are creating an
interactive art walk that explores some of these mysterious spaces and re-imagines
what may have occurred in these secret chambers.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxvo4EYsYcQ2HVukUctUZE3u9E31-jBwXhySJ53mD05-DN22ABJYyd_RroLZDEMw2U8naaSrA4qAvNAmeejNSMkZTPIOCTAhPCqCIAXqsiOQsOr10uBbjZgkVS2PdJqbRmo4RBBSJ-oUQ/s1600/cave2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxvo4EYsYcQ2HVukUctUZE3u9E31-jBwXhySJ53mD05-DN22ABJYyd_RroLZDEMw2U8naaSrA4qAvNAmeejNSMkZTPIOCTAhPCqCIAXqsiOQsOr10uBbjZgkVS2PdJqbRmo4RBBSJ-oUQ/s320/cave2.jpg" width="213" /></a>Mythology is
particularly important to Nottingham, a city known for its hero Robin Hood. The
event will encourage participants to imagine the activities that may have occurred
in these secret chambers through storytelling and through installation artworks
posing as relics. Unlike other existing cave tours, ‘A Walk Through the Underworld’ is
an imaginative experience, weaving tales and dreaming of otherworlds. We ask
our participants to contribute their own ideas in response to our own, making
each event unique. A publication will record our experiences.<br />
<br />
In ‘A Walk Through the Underworld’, participants will gain special access to Nottingham’s
hidden caves that are usually closed to the public. We are still confirming the exact caves we will visit, though we think we have 2 out of 3 sorted, so we are close! As soon as we have all the details we will post again, so keep following for details.<br />
<br />
We are also looking for additional funding and sponsors to realise all aspects of the project. There will be rewards for anybody who donates, which will be listed on a page on this blog in the next few weeks. Rewards will include guaranteed entry to one of our cave walks, exclusive artworks and publications relating to the event.<br />
