8 – 19 October 2011 Active Ingredient
Active Ingredient, an artist collective worked in collaboration with scientists and researchers across the UK and Brazil to create A Conversation Between Trees.
They visualised and interpreted environmental data from trees in both countries to create new interactive artworks and gave educational presentations and workshops during their two week residency at CCANW.
Spring 2007 Sean Hellman
Craftsman Sean Hellman worked with sections of the different tree species grown at Haldon to reveal the qualities of the wood within. He also worked on developing the ‘tree trail’, now a popular walk at Haldon.
29 July – 13 August 2006 Heike Rindt
During her residency at Haldon in July/August 2006, Heike Rindt worked with a number of local artists and members of the public to create an alternative trail for walkers. The trace the place chase led visitors – with the aid of text-based clues – through a series of altered spaces in the forest.
27 May – 5 June 2006 Sam Mukumba
One of Sam Mukumba’s workshops in June 2006 involved casting a number of bowls from molten beeswax. Participants were asked to find a tree seedling growing in an unsuitable place – typically, a roof gutter or along a road – and replant it in a bowl.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
art.earth (in partnership with Plymouth University's Sustainable Earth Institute and Science Walden at Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology) invites you to submit a proposal for participation in the forthcoming summit Adorning our new biosphere: how to love the postcarbon world to be held November 7-9 at Dartington Hall, Totnes, Devon TQ9 6EA, UK. This event is another in a renowned series of international symposia held at Dartington in the southwest of England.
In our emergent and rather hard-edged post-carbon world are we leaving behind much of what has enriched the human condition? What (for example) of beauty? What of art itself? What impact can the extraordinary developments in materials have on the way we think about renewable energy? Can we do energy better as the monolith begins to crumble?
And what role do people and communities have in all this? Thus far renewables have tended to be used by and supported by a financially and morally comfortable middle class — an easy assuaging of carbon angst perhaps, but not exactly a revolutionary act. But communities have an important role to play in challenging underlying assumptions, structures, and economic systems. Can the widespread adoption of renewable energy and the development of local generation become a shoutout for equality and social justice?
This creative summit and conference is a call to action for artists, designers, engineers and other thinkers to turn attention to a world in need of a change of argument and become part of a very particular revolution. It’s a call to action for everyone to re-engage with a damaged planet free of fossil fuels.
