1st to 5th February 05 - Hull Time Based Arts Presents gage05

gage05 is a Hull Time Based Arts Festival, reflecting the ongoing programme of this live and digital arts organisation. At gage05 local, national and international artists and speakers will explore themes of change, motion and migration. The arts festival will run from 1st to 5th February and include live performance, exhibitions, talks, workshops and screenings across the city of Hull.

gage05 will kick off on Monday evening (31st Jan) with a launch event. Visitors throughout the week will be able to view unusual installed artworks including a kinetic light sculpture, Shapesequencer, a musical instrument played like a computer game (Hull Time Based Arts) and a drawing machine that uses a suspended helium balloon and weather changes to create pictures on large rolls of paper (this artwork will be touring to a different outside location each day).

A two day conference will take place on the Thursday and Friday (3rd and 4th Feb) in partnership with the University of Lincoln (Hull School of Art and Design and Hull School of Media Technologies), where invited speakers will debate the themes of the festival in more depth, whilst Hull College's new Media and Performing Arts Centre (Horncastle Building) will be the venue for evening lectures (1st - 4th Feb 7-8pm), providing a broader historical context.

An interactive Mediahub will be set up in the Ferens Art Gallery's Live Art Space, where visiting groups will be guided through practical digital media workshops and try out interactive technologies. Live music, performance and screenings will be taking place throughout the gage05 festival week, including evening events at Lamp Bar (mon-thurs) and daily animations on Hulls Big Screen.

gage05 will be a key event for HTBA, covering the many disciplines of time based art which is in addition to the regular arts programme presented by the organisation. HTBA are actively working in partnership with other local arts organisations including Hull Art Lab and Slack Video to ensure the gage05 events reach as wide an audience as possible.

gage05 gives Hull Time Based Arts a platform to reflect on the work we have achieved in the past year as well as highlight our new partnerships and plans for future activities. Ray McFee, Programme Manager, Hull Time Based Arts. For more information about gage05, please visit www.timebase.org, contact Hull Time Based Arts on 01482 307070, or email info@timebase.org
