performance on the pool’s wall takes its inspiration from the hue and cry of the huers that once was sounded along the
coasts of Cornwall to announce the
arrival of the pilchard shoals. This
cry, ‘here they are’, and the huer’s
gesticulations directing the fishing
boats at sea, once drew crowds to
gather and wonder in anticipation
of the spectacle of sustenance
that followed.

Matt Hawthorn’s durational
work Shanty Archive there is the marking
of objects, inscripted fragments,
moments which reconstruct a place
and dialogue with audiences.

Artists/dancers Polly Hudson and
Florence Peake will perform on the
