Book Launch: Dear Nature

Nottingham Contemporary

Free. Booking required.
After the exhibition Ecologies of Value, in 2013, artist John Newling returns to Nottingham Contemporary to launch his new book Dear Nature. In 2018, the artist spent 81 consecutive days writing letters to nature. Part truth and reconciliation, part advocacy of an urgent need, part thoughts for future social ecologies, the letters convey the artist’s long-standing reflection on where planet Earth stands today. In parallel to the letters, the book shows the growth of a flax plant cultivated in the artist's studio over 81 days.
Doors will open at 6pm, with a reading and live interview from 7-8pm. 
The live reading will be of letters selected by members of the local community that in some way are working with sustainability and nature. The reading will be followed by Sarah Shalgosky, curator of the Mead Gallery and Warwick Arts Centre. 
John Newling will be signing books after the interview and the books will be available at a special price. There will be local sustainable snacks and drinks provided by Ottar and Small Food Bakery. 
Dear Nature, is published by Nottingham based contemporary art publisher Beam Editions. 
 
 
 
Nottingham Contemporary’s public programme is jointly funded by Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham.
