Alex Hartley - Stone Club Walks and Talks
Description
In this episode we talk with artist Alex Hartley about his latest artwork The Summoning Stones which features in the exhibition Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape at RAMM.
We talk about Alex's practice with sculpture and photography. About walks on Dartmoor, the energy of ancient standing stones and the transfer of energy with modern technology. We discuss access to nature and climate change and Alex's artistic influences.
Alex Hartley is an artist whose work destabilises ideas of both iconic architecture and nature by exploring our understanding of utopian ideologies. Extending into ambitious works of land art, employing his practice to test our notions of utopia, the individual, and the critical relationship we have with the environment that questions how we occupy the world's wild places.
