Abstract

Practising Place is a programme of public conversations, designed to examine the relationship between art practice and place. Each event is hosted at a different venue in the North of England and explores a specific aspect of place by bringing artists together with people from different backgrounds, who share a common area of interest.

Practising Place – Working the Land: Art, Landscape and the Everton Meadows was an evening with artist Rebecca Chesney, in conversation with Dr. Rosemary Shirley, Senior Lecturer in Art History at Manchester Metropolitan University.

The event, which was the first in the Practising Place programme, marked the launch of I’m Blue, You’re Yellow – a new limited-edition publication, which documents the two acres of meadow planted by Rebecca Chesney as an artwork in Everton Park. Drawing on examples from the project, as well as Rebecca’s wider practice, the speakers examined popular perceptions of the landscape, and discussed the ways in which artists engage with, and reveal, the political, cultural and economic processes through which it is produced.
