So the Red Rose is a project by Derek Tyman and Andy Webster and was developed in collaboration with curator Peter Kees for the 2nd Arkadien Festival, Kunstverein Ebersberg, 2021.
Artists Derek Tyman and Andy Webster are interested in the potentials for music, certain key recordings and related structures to act as platforms to reimagine what future life might be like. For the project So The Red Rose they used the photos of the Arkadia as a guide to reconstruct Vanda Chan’s storm damaged houseboat by the coast in Cornwall, England.
Tyman and Webster invited artists, musicians, composers and curators to produce their own recorded audio journeys in response to Chan’s story. Contributors to the project included: Agathe de Bailliencourt, Alan Dunn, AMM All-Stars, Andreas Mitterer, Andy Abbott, Andy Webster, Brian Biggs, Brighid Lowe, David Mabb, Elizabeth Ajtay, Florian Tuercke, Frederik Vergaert, Frenzy Hohne, Gabi Blum, George Saxon & Ryan Sehmar, Gillian Wylde, Helen Adkins, Huma Mulji, Keiken, Líadáin Éire, Liam Jolly, Martin Liebmann, Matt Wand, Matthew Bourne, MK Lord, Nigel Prince, Paul Rooney, Peter Kees, Ralf Homann, Richard Hylton, Stepanie Muller and Klaus Erika Dietl, Thomas Judisch, Tine Neumann, and Voyager Quartet.
The audio journeys were broadcast**** from Cornwall daily, to the Kunstverein, Ebersberg, and from there to the public as part of the Arkadien Festival “Where is the way to Arcadia please?”.
