DREAMING PLACE: a collaborative adventure

DREAMING PLACE is an experimental new project by Anna Keleher (Devon) and Claire Coté (New Mexico), investigating dúlra – ecosystem; dúchas– heritage; aisling – dream. Based on an ancient Celtic tradition in which the land remembers everything, the project explores “dreams of place” and how the land speaks through the dreamer.

This travelling residency inhabited Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark in Northern Ireland/Éire for 40 days and 40 nights in June and July, 2011. The artists devised novel techniques for deep immersion in the diverse natural, cultural and dream ecologies of these X-border homelands.

Although their fieldwork is now complete, the project continues as Claire and Anna  interpret “data” gathered from the Geopark, through this living blog, collaborative drawing installations, radio broadcasts and “A Place-Dreamer’s Handbook”.

Participate here at their blog, www.dreamingplace.eu, by commenting on posts or by contacting them directly.
