A Coastal Installation

Peace One Day

A Coastal Installation by Deborah Warner

July 2012

Right, so you love theatre and art. How about both combined by a renowned theatre director and dotted around Northern Ireland’s stunningly jagged coastline? And thanks to a collaborative effort by theatre/opera director Deborah Warner and the dramatic know-how of actor Fiona Shaw this isn’t only art - it’s living art. Which also happens to have been co-commissioned by Derry-Londonderry Culture Company 2013 for the Cultural Olympiad. Incredible, vibrant installations will appear, provoking thoughts from dawn ‘til dusk along the jarringly pretty panorama of rugged north coast cliffs.

Think of this as beauty within beauty, as the installations will be a view-for-all in dazzling seaside settings. Extraordinary artwork in extraordinary places – we’re spoiling you, aren’t we?

The Causeway Coast

The Causeway Coast

We’ve got an admission to make – an artist has been to the Causeway Coast before. Her name was Mother Nature and she was pretty talented. Not only did she make beauty out of basalt, but she also went to work on beaches like Whitepark Bay and though she didn’t make the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge she surely put together the foundations. All of that work means that A Coastal Installation has about the prettiest canvas to work with we could possibly imagine. Fittingly Warner has said: 'Peace Camp is a celebration of our astonishing coastline and great poetic tradition'. Cheers Mother Nature, love your work!
