SUMMARY:Into The Wyld
DESCRIPTION:Material Matters presents Into the Wyld: a festival of contemporary art exploring the continuing legacy of the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and its unique connection to the Wirral. \nInto The Wyld will feature a residency by the Material Matters Collective\, and work from over 20 invited artists across the region. There is also an associated programme of performance art\, poetry readings\, children’s workshops\, film screenings and a symposium. \nMaterial Matters’ artists will respond to key themes in the Gawain poem across three exhibitions: \n\nNature curated by Patric Rogers from 2nd August – 13th September\nChivalry curated by John Elcock from 19th September – 25th October\nSpirituality curated by Angelo Madonna from 7th November – 21st December\nWeavers a parallel programme of performance\, talks\, workshops and readings will be curated by Silvia Battista.\n\nGawain is a masterpiece text of the Middle Ages. The poem tells the story of King Arthur’s headstrong young nephew who after a dramatic bargain with a mysterious figure faces a long journey in which he must\, quite literally\, keep his head. Sir Gawain’s quest ‘into the wilderness of the Wirral’ is a fourteenth century narrative that will be given a radical 21st century interpretation by the artists. \nFeatured artists for Into the Wyld include: Angelo Madonna – Silvia Battista – John Elcock and Patric Rogers in collaboration with Amodali – Abbie Bradshaw – Nick Ball – Alice Colquhoun – Kris Darby – Will Dickie –  Ryan Gauge – Anna Jane Houghton – Adrian Jeans – Oak Luca – Brendan Lyons – Izzie Major – Piotr Marchewka – Paul Mellor – Margaret O’Brien – Attila Olah – Nicky Perrin – Eleanor Rees – Sarah Jane Richards – Andrew Shaw – Craig Sinclair – Camille Smithwick – Pierce Starre – Angela Stringer – Serah Stringer – Catherine Swire and Niamh Tam. \nProfessor Sarah Peverley (Liverpool University) will open the programme on the 3rd August with a talk on the poem’s history and textual brilliance and the real and imaginary landscapes that Sir Gawain passes through. Each exhibition will offer a family workshop led respectively by artists Madeleine Smart and Alexandra Hales. Associate Professor Catherine Morris (Liverpool Hope University) will moderate artists’ conversations with the public at the end of each exhibition. \nThe symposium Spirits of Place will take place as part of the programme on 12th October – find out more and book via the link below. \nMaterial Matters is an artists’ collective and co-operative engaged in artistic and curatorial practices that explore the inter-relationship between materiality\, aesthetics and performativity under a collaborative praxis the artists call ’emotional minimalism’. \nInto the Wyld is supported by Wirral Borough of Culture 2024 and Liverpool Hope University. \nWeavers Events: Spirituality \nMore about Material Matters \nMore about Wirral Borough of Culture 2024
