Are you running the Bupa Great North Run 2011 and based in the North East?
Artist David Blandy is the winner of the 2011 Bupa Great North Run Moving Image Commission.
He is looking for a number of volunteer runners who are taking part in
the 2011 run to work with on the making of a new film. This work, which
will focus on runners lip-syncing their favorite songs whilst training
for the event will be featured as part of the Bupa Great North Run
Culture's 2011 programme.
Every year Great North Run Culture commissions an artist or
film-maker to create a new moving image work in response to the world's
largest half-marathon. The work is then presented as part of the
following year's programme with an extract screened on the BBC as part
of their live coverage of the Bupa Great North Run.
If you are interested in being a part of this work or would like to
find out more information contact: Laura Harrington, Acting Director
(maternity leave), Great North Run Culture, laura.harrington@nova-international.com or call 0191 2727033.
For those wising to be involved there will be an informal meeting in
late January 2011 to hear more about the project and an opportunity to
meet David.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Great North Run Culture
