In:Site – Festival of Creativity

Peter William Clark

In:Site graduate festival of creativity returns for its fourth year to Birmingham Cathedral Square, Colmore Row from the 8th to the 12th September 2014 (work is on show until Sunday 14th).

The festival sees a new group of recent graduates from across the country transforming the outdoor space around the cathedral using a wide variety of art forms and techniques.

The festival provides a valuable opportunity for new graduates to showcase their work as well as a chance for them to experience working on a live, paid commission as they begin their careers as professional artists.

Over the week, each graduate has a day to make their creative intervention on-site, turning the making process into a performance. The public will be able to contribute to the making of some of the artworks, which will include: a giant necklace made by a collective of graduates from the School of Jewellery in Birmingham, even incorporating a section by Peter William Clark made of steel and concrete (work featured above). The cathedral and the surroundings will also be used as a mould to influence the shape of two other graduates work.
