Atmospheric Forces

About the event

Radar is delighted to be hosting Atmospheric Forces by Sue Palmer and Sheila Ghelani.

A performance along a table

A show and talk

A long table

Underneath, an archaeology, of sorts

Objects are assembled, time and space fold

The sea rises, the sea falls

Vapour.

Join artists Sue Palmer and Sheila Ghelani as they turn over the interconnections between climate and geology, fuel and feelings, the strata and layers of atmospheres through performance and action.

Everything we make is from the earth and will go back to it.

Running order for the evening:

• Arrival, looking and reading.

• Sue and Sheila’s performance along a table.

• A conversation between the artists and two invited guests from other fields, ranging from scientists to local historians, from artists to activists.

The evening will include a break with a drink.

Sue and Sheila have previously collaborated on Common Salt, a show and tell about empire, nature and memory, and this new piece builds on their practice and performance work.
