» FarGo Space Programme

SPACE is a programme, curated by Talking Birds, where artists occupy an empty industrial unit on the FarGo Village site (Far Gosford Street, Coventry) for 1 month to do/make/perform their work and then invite the public to experience it.

To find out when the artists are opening the unit to the public, and to keep up to date with project progress, check Talking Birds' facebook page or follow the hashtag #fargospace on Twitter. Images of past projects in the space appear on the project blog, click here to take a look.

"The FarGo Space Programme gave me the opportunity to dedicate four weeks solely to one project and to spend that time in the space where the work would be exhibited. I found it challenge to work with a small budget but ultimately rewarding because I could focus on content rather than materials. The opportunity came around at a time when I really wanted to create a new piece but didn't have the space or time to make something on the scale of The Beacon Light Requiem. I hope it is a work that I can exhibit elsewhere because it is a piece that I am very proud of." [Cormac Faulkner]
