15th September / Hatton Gallery / The Streets Do Flow
Posted 01/09/2009 by pw.
Artists Amy Feneck and Laura Mansfield worked with a group of runners from Wallsend Harriers to make this new work. The personal recollections of individual runners form the basis of The Streets Do Flow and recreate the simple narrative of a journey through the city from a runner's perspective.
The artists have collated interviews and anecdotes from the runners, using this material to create a series of unique text and image based designs that appear as unexpected interventions in The Journal and on a billboard above St James Metro station. The work is also featured in the Hit The Ground exhibition at the Hatton Gallery, offering a personal yet abstracted perspective on the shared experience of running.
dust collaborated with Amy Feneck and Laura Mansfield on 'The Streets Do Flow' project, which included a billboard design (located above St James Metro) and 8 Journal inserts. The catalogue for the show is a back printed section of the billboard itself.
