In our increasingly crowded lives, it can be difficult to find the time to
think.

To generate that new idea, sometimes all we need is a long weekend out from
our normal lives, a weekend where we can step out into the fresh air, get
our shoes muddy and walk all day without seeing another soul in the hope of
returning with a fresh perspective. GOING SOLO is this small window of
retreat.

Radiator has given three artists a 4 day sabbatical in the wilderness of
rural Derbyshire. Here, they spend their time exploring foot paths and
bridle paths in the Peak District National Park, collecting impressions of
their surroundings, their journeys, their thoughts. The 'data' they collect
will reflect their individual practice, the raw material being stored as
sound recordings, video, GPS tracks or simply drawings.

The three walk and explore the area of the Dark Peak alone. Going solo,
artist and landscape bound by solitude, they capture moments, fragments and
impressions to be set later into a final composition. The process suggests a
post-romantic communing with nature, a re-engaging of contemporary artist
with great outdoors, a bringing together of the urban and the rural.

So we can follow their ups and downs live, the artists are collating data
and recording their experiences in an online diary.*

GOING SOLO will be developed throughout 2010 and exhibited in 2011 but
extracts and artists’ research can be caught at the Radiator Symposium:
Tracing Mobility, which takes place on May 15th at Nottingham Contemporary.

Taking place in Nottingham, Warsaw and Berlin, the Tracing Mobility symposia
provide an opportunity to increase knowledge about the cultural aspects of
future mobility and new spaces created by electronic networks. The symposia
will include presentations by our featured artists as well as speakers from
the fields of art, architecture, urban theory, geography and computer
science, exploring different aspects of “The Mobile Me”.
