Wild ResearchA two-day symposium at the Revelator Wall of Death with The Journal of Media Practice and EducationOver two days artists, writers, filmmakers and academics seek to open a conversation on how we might reject the straitjackets imposed by universities and art schools on their way of working through a discussion of what we have termed ‘wild research’. This event is FREE and open to the public.Where: The Revelator Wall of Death, GlasgowWhen: Friday 13th and Saturday 14th September 2024 10am to 5pm Wild things are impossible to predict, and cannot be hijacked by professionalisation, monetisation or careerism. Created by artist Stephen Skrynka with a team of volunteers, The Revelator is wild in every sense. A wooden, handcrafted circular structure, it is a community-built, and fully-functioning, Wall of Death. (Motorcycles are ridden vertically on the 5metre high circular wall with an awestruck audience perched at the top) Currently located in a former shipyard on The Clyde, it is also a unique nomadic Theatre-in-the-Round and art space. Combining heritage, identity and story it offers a reconnection and sense of communal pride through making. It is completely made from traditional wooden joints, no nails, and took over 15,000 hours to build. It is wild because it lives and grows unfettered from institutions in its own natural environment and responds to it in a fertile and unhindered manner. It was built by volunteers without permission and completely unfunded by corporate bodies, the wood was paid for from small local donations. It is also nomadic so it can be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere, thus broadcasting the seeds of wildness wherever it may take root.Follow The Revelator on Instagram @the-revelator-clydebuilt and @stephenskrynkawe are located here : https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8SQfA1ouK2/?igsh=ZHBzbzNqOGQzdGV6AddressBarclay Curle Complex,739 South Street,GlasgowG14 OBX
