Haarlem Artspace

About Haarlem Artspace

Haarlem is a multi-functional artist-led space. We aim to encourage practice and research into contemporary art created in a rural environment.

Haarlem Artspace Description

Haarlem Artspace was set up by Geoff Diego Litherland, Olivia Punnett and Bev Shephard to be a multi functional artist-led space to encourage practice and research into contemporary art created in a rural environment.

It offers dedicated studios for artists and writers in the inspiring and historic Grade II* listed Haarlem Mill building, situated in the town of Wirksworth, Derbyshire. There will also be flexible public spaces that will present an engaging and ambitious program of events and activities relating to landscape, the environment and ecology.

We’re looking for ambitious artists and writers, to further and develop their practices at Haarlem. They will be invited to participate in a program of exhibitions and events, which will explore and develop links with the Wirksworth Festival and the wider creative community. We will develop commissions, events, and a residency program, which will have on-going links with other studio groups, both national and international. Artists will be supported in the development of new work via a group critique program, optional tutoring, funding advice and support, alongside online representation.
Studio spaces are by application. To apply submit an expression of interest outlining why you’d like a space at Haarlem and how you would use it, include an artist statement, images and supporting links to: studios@haarlem. co. uk
The Peak District is an area of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of England, and North Derbyshire. The Haarlem Mill building was the first ever coal powered mill significant in the Industrial revolution. Historic literary links include George Elliot, D. H. Lawrence, Daniel Defoe, Olive Schreiner, Eleanor Marx, and Friedrich Engels. Wirksworth is the setting for George Elliots fictional ‘Mill on the Floss’. Being restored to English Heritage standards, Haarlem Mill is a beautiful and inspiring place to work and develop artistic ideas

Alongside Peter Matthews' drawings made With and Within the Ocean we're showing the film The Ocean Moves Through It.
2013. Rock fragments and other ocean matter on super 8 film transferred to HD video. 16:49 minutes, silent.
The film was made at low tide in the Atlantic Ocean, England, a length of blank 8mm film, 50 feet in length, is placed between two rocks where the strip of film becomes subject to various actions and forces, primarily hitting a rock onto the surface of th...e film. A primal relationship is developed while hitting two ancient ocean rocks together which creates, as a direct reaction, a series of marks which, when projected, produce a myriad display of forms and structures which emanate somewhere out-there in that vast abyss of time and space.
The gallery is open today 11am - 4pm

#Repost from @peter_matthews_artist In and With the Ocean by Peter Matthews is on Thursday - Saturday 11-4 until feb 9th @haarlemartspace ・・・ Cosmic travelling in time and light with paintings in motion, traversing the wild Pacific coast of Baja California, México. New works opening @beerslondon this Friday at 6-8pm in a bright and energetic solo called The End Is Where They Start From, inspired by T.S Eliot’s poem ‘Little Gidding’ which explores making a new beginning from ...an end, that everything is in beautiful and poetic flux and motion with life, and that painting and poetry are always alive and vibrating with the great vicissitudes of life. Photo from a film still shot by myself. #painting #drawing #art #gallery #exhibition #london #beerslondon #light #landscape #mexico #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #ocean #nature #sun #bright #postitivevibes #solo #upcoming #new #londonart #poetry #photo
