About

A man in a giant bird’s nest on the side of a high-rise; Una White’s name spelled out in our lights above the city; a flock of hot-air balloons playing music at dawn… based in Birmingham, Fierce! has established an international reputation for risk-taking, excellence and innovation and is now widely recognized as one of the UK’s most important contemporary arts festivals. It has consistently engaged new audiences with a broadening programme, delivered in conjunction with a wide variety of producing and presenting partners including IKON gallery, Warwick Arts Centre, Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham Rep, Compton Verney, Birmingham Royal Ballet, and the CBSO.
In 2009, following an extensive search which attracted international interest, Fierce! Festival announced the appointment of its new artistic leaders, Laura McDermott and Harun Morrison as the new Joint Artistic Directors of Fierce! Festival and its related year round programme of work.
This programme of year-round work includes, artist development, public consultancy, the organization of networking events, artists’ surgeries and ‘Interrobangs’ (mash ups of audience engagement &a; research, art-experiments, seminars, workshops, installations, exhibitions, parties and activism!)
Fierce Festival was founded by Mark Ball who is now Artistic Director at LIFT.

WHO WE ARE The David Roberts Art Foundation: exhibiting, collecting, sharing. A platform dedicated to critical dialogues and experiments, programmed by Vincent Honoré. The David Roberts Art Foundation Limited is a registered charity in England and Wales (No.1119738) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (No. 6051439) at 25 Gosfield Street, London, W1W 6HQ. It is proudly supported by the Edinburgh House Estates group of companies. EXHIBITIONS, PROJECTS Through our projects, we aim to question the structures of production and reception of art works and exhibitions. We invite artists to explore the different formats of an exhibition and to consider it not as a fixed structure, but as a temporary proposal opened to evolutions, experimentations and modifications. Together with group or solo exhibitions, the Foundation hosts an active programme of performances and discussions. http://www.artangel.org.uk/ An urban fox let loose inside a gallery and observed by grainy CCTV; a pale, life-sized concrete cast of a terraced house and the impassioned, national debate it inflames; a bright blue crystalline grotto, hidden behind the doors of a council flat; the re-enactment of a riot; a requiem for an abandoned village... Based in London but working across Britain and beyond, Artangel commissions and produces exceptional projects by outstanding contemporary artists. Over the past two decades, the projects have materialised in a range of different sites and situations and in countless forms of media.
