Richard Layzell
Lecture and workshop by Richard Layzell
16-18th February
I was particularly interested in:
River Avon mud - move the river paint the town red.
Mud... artist Richard Long also uses mud from the River Avon - its got a really unique quality
Richard Long - River Avon Mud
transference- information, material
Falling Phoebe
A piece made with a series of coincidences, to do with the artist's past, ancestry etc. A friend of the artist falls over in the street in the same place where his great great grandmother fell pregnant with his grandfather. Both women are Phoebe.
This has similarities with my counting works where I mark out historical events with a ritualistic walk, counting out significant numbers intertwined with the people involved.
I am interested in the way we think about history - almost existing outside time, delineated and somewhat mystified. I want to bring the real time back to historic memories and events, placing something back into the same time frame which it happened in. Marking moments as moments, seconds where something happened.

Walk to Glasgow - Part 2
I would like to continue and complete my performance Walk to Glasgow at the National Review of Live Art in 2009. In part one, I will cover the distance from Hildesheim to Glasgow by walking back and forth between my house and the university. Part two marks my arrival in Glasgow.
The performance in Glasgow will be set in the surroundings of The Arches. The focal point will be in the foyer of the building. There will be a set table and two chairs. Presented on the table will be several different welcome dishes like bread, salt and wine.
The pathways will lead me on a circular route around The Arches in the centre. One circuit will be complete whenever I have walked on every path around the building at least once.
I will walk the paths around for the duration of the festival, day and night. Whenever I am too tired to walk on I will put up a small tent, which I will carry with me throughout. After a short break I will keep on walking.
During the opening hours visitors will be welcome to walk with me. I would like to meet them and learn about their origins and their place of birth, typical customs and rituals. For documentation I will carry the logbook from my first performance, Walk to Glasgow – Part 1, in which visitors can read and find out more about the first part and people who walked with me before. At the beginning and end of every shared walk I will take photographs and measure the total distance walked with every person.
The shared walk is finished whenever a route on the paths is complete. After this, I will share a meal with the person that walked with me.
The performance comes to an end when the NRLA closes.
Born in Gera, Germany, Marcel is currently studying Theatre/Performance Art in Hildesheim.

an idea
its seems to me that i am constantly escaping with my work, its all a big avoidance of the big fact that the truth is out there. the truth is that something has to be true, there is only absolute truth, relative truth is the big lie of postmodernism that seems to be an avoidance of responsibility
my art is a constant shirking. skirting round the borders. ... there's going to be a video piece that reflects this recognition, just someone with their back to the camera turning round and round and avoiding eye contact...
thinking of a scene in eternal sunshine of a spotless mind where elijah wood gets turned round and round and all you see is the back of his head
