Bill Westheimer brings The Manual Project to Hospitalfield

Bill Westheimer is here for two weeks from the USA working on The Manual Project - an ongoing portraiture project which combines 19th Century collodion wet plate photography and photograms.

Bill has created two working environments in the studio to produce prints of current residents, staff and local artists, assisted by his wife Lisa and local photographer Malcolm J Thomson.

Delegates from across Europe will be coming to Hospitalfield for a weekend think tank to examine European cultural collaboration. The '100 Women Paint the Sea' project by Moira Scott Payne, based in Arbroath and promoted through the Hospitalfield Users Group, will be among a number of suggested templates for community heritage projects throughout Europe.

The gathering, between the 7th and 9th of October is promoted through the ACCR - a European Network of Cultural Centers located in Historic Monuments, of which Hospitalfield is the only UK member.

There will be representatives of organisations from Finland, Poland, Italy, Germany, Belgium, France and Scotland.

For more information on the network see www.accr-europe.org

We'll post some feedback here, after the event.
