Dysarticulate II: Field of Flags: Jon Adams

Sunday 24 July Dysarticulate in Portsmouth
Bunting the Square from 11am
Come along to Guildhall Square (11am-4pm) and the New Theatre Royal (2pm-3pm) to get involved

‘Dysarticulate’ 2010 challenged people to join in becoming the ‘artist for a day’ during the lead up to and over Open Weekend 2010. Events led by artist Jon Adams resulted in 5000 flags forming ‘Lines on Lines’ on the hill above Chatham on Sunday 24th July 2010. Flag fields were also created at Whitstable Biennial (where 6-700 people made flags), London Southbank, Portsmouth, Chichester and ending in Chatham.

This year’s audacious aim for Dysarticulate 2 is to ‘engage’ artists and audiences and ‘celebrate’ by creating and planting One million flags recycled from book pages. These will be woven into a series of in sync public ‘emplacement’ events where the scale of their showing in the landscape continues the dialogue and conversations reflecting the real issues around disability, our fragility and the nature of Public art.

Anyone can come, be the artist for a day – and play

“As a dyslexic and outsider artist I am so proud that Flags are to be ‘included’ by London 2012 in Open Weekend – flying the flag to celebrate and trail blaze the countdown to the games..” Jon Adams
