The Tamar Art Project is an ambitious programme of contemporary art commissions and international art events that explore and reflect the context of the River. The current artist in residence, Adam Chodzko, has been working throughout the River Tamar area, exploring and archiving voyages of discovery with passengers from rural Devon and Cornwall to Urban Plymouth. 'The Urgency of Rivers and the Role of Contemporary Art' An evening of presentations and discussion from artists and art organisations, looking to rivers as a space to create contemporary art. This event will examine how art can be a provocation to trigger a sense of urgency about the world that we live in. The event will include speakers from the Canal and River Trust, Caught by the River, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, and the artist Adam Chodzko, chaired by the Tamar Art Programme.
