Ruskin Rocks: the sound of nature - the nature of sound

The world-famous percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie is taking part in a new project which introduces children to geology by constructing and playing ‘musical rocks’.
Dame Evelyn Glennie will demonstrate the completed instrument at its launch on 19th August 2010, which is open to the public. 
The University of Leeds has been awarded nearly £200,000 by Natural England, through DEFRA's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, to create a 21st century percussion instrument using rocks found throughout Cumbria.
The musical rock instrument will be available to be played by visitors of all ages after its launch in August 2010.

‘We are delighted to launch Water’s Edge during the 2012 Open Weekend across the UK! We aim to engage communities locally and nationally, uniting people with a shared sense of place, encouraging an appreciation of the natural world and promoting a creative exploration of our ‘water’ environments.
‘The first phase of Water’s Edge has already successfully reached people of all ages and communities locally, regionally and nationally. Through a national ‘call to action’ on summer solstice, 21 June, we invited the general public to go outdoors and visit their nearest open water – whether it was the sea or river, a lake, canal or pond – and with a single photo, simply capture the state of their natural environment. All photos were then sent to us by either text or email.’

drawings by rosie leventon

Best known for her large installations that have been made for museums, sculpture parks and galleries in many countries, Rosie Leventon is now showing her drawings for the first time in London.
“Leventon’s drawings combine expressive energy with a sculptor’s instinct for ground and depth. Surfaces are tactile, often evoking organic sculptural materials, or referencing the elemental aspects of landscape. Some of the drawings also contain Middle Eastern hand writing and calligraphy.” Tom Flynn
Her work has recently been bought by the Henry Moore Institute, and recent shows include: The Workshop of Hereafter, Blyth Gallery, Imperial College, Unfold, Nettie Horn Gallery, Concrete & Glass, Shoreditch Town Hall, Prospects & Interiors, Henry Moore Institute, Leeds.
