The Moving Body in the City
March 12, 2010 – 8:23 pm
Lumen is working with co-producers imove during 2010. We are commissioning a series of activity exploring human movement in the built environment. How we move in our cities will be explored and then used creatively to reconnect the contemporary viewer with the built environment they inhabit.
As part of this programme we are running a series of creative workshops and master classes. This will enable you to engage in making and discussing media art.
This first workshop stage is part of a seven week studio space at PSL Gallery in Leeds. Anyone can join in for free in these theory and practical workshops.
