From the end of July until September, Stanza will be at Lanternhouse creating A City of Dreams, a cityscape covering the floor of the Barn.  In September this stunning interactive mini city opens to the public.

There are several volunteer opportunities to work with Stanza on A City of Dreams. 

The work will involve some painting of large canvases from projections and the chance help with some of the technical aspects of A City of Dreams including rigging projectors and some soldering.

This is a fantastic opportunity to; 

• work alongside an exciting International artist
• gain valuable artistic and technical experience
• learn new skills and build on existing skills
• gain experience that will look great on a CV and in University applications

The hours are flexible and no previous experience is needed to volunteer on this project, just the willingness to get involved in, and help out with the development of Stanza’s great work.

Lanternhouse is proud to welcome back internationally acclaimed digital artist Stanza for his project A City of Dreams  

This project will take place in the Barn at Lanternhouse, as Stanza creates cityscapes in an Open Studio process.

During the creation process, Stanza will reveal the architecture of creation. 

He will reveal the actual process; lay bare the reality of the work, physically by showing the machinery of the piece in progress and theoretically with a series of show-and-tell invitations to the public.

This is also a new way of using the Barn as a studio and the project will help Lanternhouse make sense of the actual building and how spaces are utilised.

In this way, the “open studio” mirrors the process of the project, with material and philosophical process being available to witness throughout.

Stanza will document his work and it will be available online for audience and participants to follow. 

The Barn will be an Open Studio, a public domain space possibly with a live CCTV link available online at www.Stanza.co.ukfor a public online audience to follow the process. 

This is not the creation of a visual exhibition; this is open process and development / production of work.
