Project CAMP Full 2020 Program Announced

Mountain arts residency project CAMP has announced it“s 2020 program, including workshops by Terry Riley, Julia Holter, Laurel Halo, Matthew Herbert, Simon Armitage, Chris Watson, Julia Kent, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Tai Shani and others. Visit the CAMP media centre at media.campfr.com for videos, photography, press releases on each course, interviews with course leaders, exclusive media and other assets.

Following two years of sold out workshops including alpine recording courses with Chris Watson, sound art workshops with Christina Kubisch, installation art sessions with Laure Prouvost and site specific explorations by Bill Drummond, 2020 looks set to be one of the biggest seasons yet for the project. The program spans music, sound art, film, poetry, fine art, graphic novels, virtual reality, environmental activism and more.

Based at 750m above sea level, and surrounded by the snowcapped peaks, ancient forests and cascading waterfalls of the Pyrenean mountains, each residential course spans five full days of workshops, discussions, practical sessions, performances and individual tuition, along with hiking, swimming and exploring the epic scenery.

The season kicks off with an eco-art session led by legendary feminist-activist-artist Aviva Rahmani, before diving into a series of spring-time music and sound-based workshops led by Matthew Herbert, Roedelius, Julia Kent, Gavin Bryars, Akira Rabelais and others. Highlights of the summer program include a workshop in North Indian Raga with Terry Riley, music sessions with Julia Holter, Laurel Halo, Mark Fell & CM Von Hausswolff, fine art session with Turner Prize winners Tai Shani and Helen Cammock, a comics course with cult graphic novelist Gabrielle Bell, an immersive VR+AR class with Sutu Eats Flies and Star Wars concept artist Jama Jurabaev, and an exploration of nature in poetry with UK poet laureate Simon Armitage. Finally, the season closes with Chris Watson“s five-day outdoor workshop hunting the sound of red deer across the high slopes and forests of the Autumn landscape. With just 14 places on each workshop, these are intimate sessions during which participants live, work, socialise and study with the acclaimed course leaders.

Following every workshop, participants get further involved with the CAMP project through exhibition, release, broadcast and touring opportunities – since opening in 2018, CAMP has supported over 80 of its supported emerging artists through online radio station CAMP Radio, record label CAMP Editions and through the organisations UK arts hub, Fuse Art Space.

As in 2019, CAMP“s “Open Grants”“ fund is available to applicants on low/no income – the fund provides grants of up to â‚¬650 to attend a workshop. More info on grants can be found at campfr.com/apply.Â
