About
Taking cue from Lincoln’s historic connections with Magna Carta, artist Ruth Ewan developed workshops with young people from The Meadows Primary School which resulted in a series of slogans, text works and drawn maps. One of the re-imagined maps has been developed by Ewan and expertly crafted into an alternative globe which will be sited in the foyer of Lincoln Central Library from 15 June to 5 September.
Selected words and slogans from the workshops feature in a series of letterpress prints produced with Lincoln’s Caseroom Press, which can be seen at Project Space Plus, alongside earlier work by Ruth Ewan from 16 June 2015 to 11 July 2015.
Ruth will be talking about her work and the new commission, The Difference, at 4.00pm on Monday 15 June at Project Space Plus, followed by the launch of her new work at Lincoln Central Library, 5.30 – 6.30pm.
Gymnasium is a contemporary art commissioning programme which presents new works in public locations in the city of Lincoln, alongside print editions and associated exhibitions in the University of Lincoln’s gallery — Project Space Plus.
The first year of the project will involve three artists/artist’s groups ‘imagining possible futures’ – engaging with the imperative for social change and the creation of heterotopias and propositions, with reference to the specific situation in Lincoln in the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta. The programme is curated by Jeanine Griffin.
