Commission: Interpreting Living Landscapes
Deadline: April 30, 2013, 9:00 am
Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) on behalf of Dorset Design and Heritage Forum wish to commission an artist or designer to explore new approaches to interpreting the concept of ‘Living Landscapes’ at a number of its nature reserves in West Dorset. The Living Landscapes concept seeks to restore, recreate and reconnect wildlife habitats in harmony with the way people live and work with nature, giving wildlife a better chance to cope with changes in the economy, communities and climate.
The Trust is particularly interested in creative approaches which might integrate static interpretation into existing infrastructure or use new technologies to provide a platform for multifaceted interpretation.
The commission forms project 6 of of N3: Nature Network Neighbourhood, a funded programme of six creative projects focussing on developing innovative creative responses in the public realm within Dorset. It is an initiative of the Dorset Design and Heritage Forum, co-directed by ruralrecreation with Ginkgo Projects.
DWT is a charitable membership body committed to ensuring there is a future for Dorset’s nature its distinctive wildlife and natural spaces. DWT uses its influence and practical experience of land management and marine conservation to inspire, inform and engage people in Dorset.
Total budget including fee, expenses and materials: £4,500
