#frontierzone

Amongst the exhibits of the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, Lois Williams read a series of poems she wrote during the three weeks.

She also produced a risograph poster stack of her poems which were installed in St Peter and St Paul Wisbech and available to take away.

In The Wisbech Masonic Lodge Paul Johnson screened a film of Nina Simone singing 'Four Women'.  Simone's shifting symbolic stories weaved into the symbolic atmosphere of the Masonic Lodge creating a visual and aural collage.

In the camping supplies section of local store Evisons, Anna Chrystal Stephens presented an installation concerning survivalism and basic shelter, including a short performance about an imagined future society which has reconnected with nature.

During the 3 weeks the artists used The Wisbech Social Club & Institute as a temporary studio and were able to reveal their artistic process and approach to the residency with an invited audience.

On Saturday 27th September The Frontier Zone culminated in a town-wide event to celebrate the first Wisbech Arts Colony Residency.

Each artist revealed some of the hidden spaces throughout the town and offered creative encounters in unexpected places.

Thanks to everyone who made this fantastic opportunity possible!
