David Harradine
Joins the expedition for week 2
David Harradine is an artist working across performance, installation, visual art and publication. He is co-founder and artistic director of Fevered Sleep. His current work is focused on the connections between light, landscape, weather and place, and on the subject of ageing.
He recently created The Weather Factory, an installation about the weather in Snowdonia, commissioned by National Theatre Wales, and is currently artist in residence in the school of arts and media at the University of Brighton, working on They Shoot Horses Don’t They?, a dance film project that explores the conceptualisation and communication of climate change. He is also developing an ongoing series of works about natural light in different places, An Infinite Line, which includes a project for the River Thames and for Dunnet Head, the most northerly point on the British Mainland.

Fevered Sleep
Fevered Sleep creates new work in performance, visual art and publi- cation, for children and for adults. Our work takes place in arts venues such as theatres and galleries, in unusual places and found sites, and in the physical and digital spaces people encounter in their everyday lives. Whatever we make, and wherever it’s found, our work seeks to provide thought-provoking, surprising and intimate experiences that encourage people to see the world in new and unexpected ways. Com- mitted to research and fearless about experimentation, we aim in each of our projects to discover something fresh about the art forms in which we work. Fevered Sleep is an associate company at the Young Vic Theatre, London. www.feveredsleep.co.uk
