A group of very imaginative children take on a minor, missing belongings mystery. Unaware, that their investigation will eventually lead them to unravel a crime wave, happening under their own noses.
Imagine a beautiful valley, full of buzzing and humming honeybees, bee-wolves, bumblebees, cicadas, hawk-moths and butterflies. Imagine this valley surrounded by blue-purple-violet heather hills, fragrant with sweet flowers and fruity herbs. Imagine all the positive energy from the nature packed with happiness and love. Imagine the month of July and long summer days free from school and worries.
The primary aim of the project is to take contemporary art out of galleries and museums, to take it out of artist’s studios, and to show it to all sorts of different people in a variety of environments and locations around South West England.
We would like to discover from the ordinary people of Devon and Cornwall, what kind of art they like and what they don’t like. What contemporary art means to them? Are they interested in art at all? Is there a place for art in their life, living room, kitchen, mind? Or maybe they are not interested in art at all? These are the question and the items we are going to be asking people.
Maybe we will ask you too! 😎
