Creative Campus Initiative is pleased to announce the launch of their Phase two programme with 12 University partners, a host of new collaborations and a powerful portfolio of contemporary art works in the making.
We are particularly pleased to showcase our four flagship projects that will be developed with partners across the region.
Town of Runners – a film and digital media project connecting young people from the UK with athletes in Bekoji, Ethiopia.
1908 Collaborative Residencies – led by Lightning Ensemble, a circus and theatre arts project that will bring together students from across the discipline dividers.
Iron Gym – a sculptural heritage project that uses Participatory Action Research models to engage people in the design of their own healthy living agenda
Art of Demonstration – led by Periplum, this is a street theatre, visual arts and political science inquiry that will explode onto streets and campuses in the run up to London 2012
Phase 2 also features a major partnership project with Turning Point South East entitled Prospectus. The programme seeks to engage visual arts communities in the process of heightened critique and academic discussion and will work in response to the Turning Point 2012 Relay commissions.
Alongside the commissions we will also be taking Phase 1 works on an exhibition tour across the South East, including a showcase programme at Gatwick that runs until September 2012.
CCI and The Big Project
CCI have been commissioned to lead The Big Picture project in partnership with LOCOG and PODIUM. The project will result in a series of artworks made by young people from across the country to be displayed in key Olympic sites later this year. We are currently looking for artists to help deliver this work and interested parties can find more information about the three briefs open to the public by following the links below:

Seven sisters and the Greek runner
Atalanta follows the Greek myth of the runner. The Seven Sisters group gives a live performance in Oxford, as part of the Open Weekend (24-25 July) and holds workshops in Brighton and Bexhill-on-Sea.
Olympic movie
The Future of Film Award was presented at the Festival Launch Ceremony at the University of Winchester on Saturday 5 June. The competition, with an Olympic theme, was open to 14-19 year olds in the Hampshire area. http://bit.ly/cRv5lv
What do artists need?
A central concern for CCI, one that will run through the debates on 17 June, is: What do artists want? What do artists need? These questions were discussed at 'Creative Conditions: Mapping artists’ resources in the South East', on 17 May. We report their findings on the Debate page.
Live Music Tonight
Tonight at the CCI exhibition at TVU, which opened last night, there will be a live music performance of 'Degree of Difficulty', the film celebration of Olympic diving.
