Aerial Landscapes

Aerial Landscapes

November 2023

This book is developed from Aerial Landscapes, a one day event focusing on contemporary artists’ engagement with the Five Sisters’ Bings and specifically Latham's approach to site from above as manifested in his 1975–76 APG placement with the Scottish Development Office. Both event and publication were shaped by dialogues between two artists, Onya McCausland and Nicky Bird, and two art historians, Katherine Jackson and Joy Sleeman, all working in the archive of Flat Time House. Together the texts convey four distinct perspectives on aerial landscapes and combine the historical and first-hand with the archive.

The book contains four chapters: ‘The View from Above’ by Katherine Jackson, ‘Cuthill and the Five Sisters Bing’ by Onya McCausland, ‘Overlay and Overview’ by Joy Sleeman and ‘Layered Over’ by Nicky Bird; with an Introduction by Gareth Bell-Jones and Afterword by Joy Sleeman. Together the texts convey four distinct perspectives on aerial landscapes and combine historical and artistic research and first-hand experience in the landscape and in the archive.
About

About

Flat Time House (FTHo) was the studio home of John Latham (1921-2006), recognised as one of the most significant and influential British post-war artists. In 2003, Latham declared the house a living sculpture, naming it FTHo after his theory of time, ‘Flat Time’. Until his death, Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking about art. It is in this spirit that Flat Time House opened in 2008 as a gallery with a programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist's practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance. It also provides a centre for alternative learning, which includes the John Latham archive, and an artist's residency space.

Intoart Writing Residency

Intoart Writing Residency

2023–24

Flat Time House and Intoart are collaborating on a new residency that invites the development of new writing through research at Flat Time House and in conversation with artists from the Intoart Studio.

We are excited to announce Amber Hahn as Intoart Writer in Residence for 2023/2024. Amber Hahn is an artist and writer based in Peckham, London. She works with people through different methods of dialogue, collaboration and workshops with an interdisciplinary practice that encompasses installation, sound and choreography. As well as working with the artists over the next nine months, she will spend time with the John Latham archive to draw upon the theoretical ideas and reciprocal relevance between Intoart and FTHo as spaces for alternative education, critical thinking and reflective practice.
