Loop the Loop Redruth
Details of past events: 5-7 March 2015
Loop the loop is a series of events giving you the chance to explore your local library through film, installation, music and performance. This is a project between artist/filmmaker Joanna Mayes and Cornwall Libraries, working with a number of South West artists and the Redruth community, including Redruth School. At Redruth, the event was inspired by the story of local mining, especially Tolgus Mill at Cornwall Gold and the Redruth Old Cornwall Society Town Museum.
Programme of Events
Joanna Mayes
Date: Thurs 5 - Sat 7 March
Time: Thurs/Fri: 10.00am – 4.30pm Sat: 10.00am – 1.00pm
Cost: FREE
Artist/filmmaker Joanna Mayes has been researching local heritage sites as part of Loop the Loop. In Redruth, Joanna features Tolgus Mine, the only active tin-streaming works in Cornwall. Using standard 8 and 16mm film on Bolex cameras, Joanna will be hand processing footage at the library using instant coffee, washing soda, vitamin C and salt (Caffenol). Throughout the event, Joanna will also share a selection of 78rpm records on a wind-up gramophone, as inspiration for her film’s soundtrack. If you are interested in eco-processing of moving image or stills, or getting a glimpse into the world of the contemporary artist/filmmaker come in and chat to Joanna about her work. There will also be recipe sheets and tips on how to turn your kitchen into an eco-processing centre with no nasty chemicals.
