16 Feb INSIDE MOUNTAINFILM IN TELLURIDE: NOWHERE ISLAND
Editor’s note: Inside Mountainfilm in Telluride is the start of a new series on Telluride Inside… and Out. On a semi-regular basis, look for posts from Mountainfilm director David Hobrooke and other players on his team. Mountainfilm in Telluride takes place Memorial weekend, Friday, May 25 – Sunday, May 28, 2012.
If we were to create a new nation, how might we begin? So asks Alex Hartley, a British artist who has started a public art project that is one of 12 pieces across the United Kingdom that will be part of the Cultural Olympiad in the Olympic summer of 2012. “Nowhereisland” is intended to tap into our values and beliefs as citizens, integrating the general public’s thoughts; so far, there are over 5,000 “citizens” of the island who have started writing the island’s constitution collectively. This isn’t just a thought piece: Hartley found an actual island in Norway and received permission to tow it to the coast of England.
