Summer Season 2008

Youth Expedition & Web Portals

Over the summer season in 2008 and during the September 2008 expeditions, website portals promoting/presenting the autumn voyages will be installed on site at the Eden Project. During this period, we are also working with the creative and education teams at the Eden Project to choose a student from the Cornish area to take part in the 2008 youth expedition.

Winter Season 2009

Clare Twomey, David Buckland, Max Eastley, Vicky Long, Eugene Sellors

The Winter 07/08 Season saw the beginning of Cape Farewell's long-term artistic collaboration with the Eden Project. It was launched by a major new commission, Blossom, by artist Clare Twomey. This vast and delicate work was comprised of thousands of fragile unfired china clay flowers that wove in and out of the central pathway at the Eden Project site interacting with the horticultural displays. The season also saw a sound installation by Max Eastley and Vicky Long, Ice Rink, a photographic film & video installation by David Buckland and Eugene Sellors, a graphic exhibition following the routes of the 2007 expeditions, and Glacial Soundscape by Max Eastley.
