On 19 October, a major new contemporary art exhibition, Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape, opens at RAMM demonstrating the moor’s allure to artists, including Radical Ecology’s Ashish Ghadiali.
Informed by a conversation with Gaia theorist James Lovelock, a year and a day before he died, and here reflected through a recorded conversation with Radical Ecology’s close collaborator, Professor Tim Lenton, Ghadiali was commissioned to create the 2-screen film installation, Can you tell the time of a running river? specifically for the exhibition. Through it, he explores new ways of living on the earth, recognising ‘different temporalities’ in the time of a river and the time of a human body.
On 12 February 2025, art historian Joy Sleeman will be in conversation with Ghadiali at RAMM talking about Dartmoor’s importance in the history of land art. Stay tuned for announcements of additional programming by Radical Ecology on 14 February 2025, included a guided walk with Ghadiali and Sleeman to Wistman’s Wood - following in the footsteps of the iconic land artist Nancy Holt.
