August 2011 One Touch of Nature…Makes All Kin
Exhibition/Poetry Event : John Muir’s Birthplace
Curated by Susie Goodwin & Amy Winstanley
Conquering Nature Lecture by Ola Wojtkiewicz
The theme and ethos of this open exhibition was inspired by John Muir’s writing and drew together 28 established and emerging contemporary artists and poets from across Scotland and beyond. Drawing & painting, sculpture, film and artists books were installed within the whitewashed stone walls of, what would previously have been John Muir’s garden, individual works, performaces and poetry readings contributing to a burgeoning ecological dialogue embedded in the very fabric of this place, John Muir’s Birthplace in Dunbar.
