We are thrilled to share that we have reached full Capacity. It is such a joy to see this incredible support for this project coming from the Newcastle Community, the commitment to the environment and love for Jesmond Dene that this reveals!!!
It seems like the weather gods have decided to reward us for this effort: tomorrow is a day of shiny clouds! temperatures will be between 10-13 degrees celsius: but this is Newcastle so please bring an umbrella just in case!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: There have been some changes to the programming at the Tate and it looks like the Days of Action films will no longer be screened on the 4th of November but as part of Late at Tate on the 28th of November. I will continue updating this page as further information emerges. Either way the event will definitely be live streamed nationwide on the 4th of November and I will provide details for this here.
Because of these changes I am adding this INFORMATION FROM THE EVENT ORGANISER’S WEBSITE for those with whom I have not spoken about this project directly: This event is part of a 1-day Nation-Wide Climate Action: Remember Nature that brings together leading which will see 16 arts organisations across England, including Tate, Serpentine, Kettle’s Yard, FACT, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and many more, come together to stand up for nature. Brought to life through public interventions from 18 leading artists, and taking place in galleries, cultural venues and outdoor spaces across the length and breadth of the country, the Day will be a powerful call to ‘remember nature’, driving collective action to stand up for the planet.
Commemorating the 10th anniversary of celebrated artist Gustav Metzger (1926–2017)’s visionary art project Remember Nature, which was initiated in 2015, this year’s ambitious new staging is curated by Andrea Gregson and Jo Joelson, brought to life with regional arts partners, who have each nominated a lead artist to coordinate a place-specific Day of Action and the production of a call-to-action film, which will be screened both online and at Tate Modern’s Starr Cinema. The artistic acts and interventions on the Day of Action will be live streamed and recorded.
