b-side

Explore the flip-side of the seaside


Welcome to the wonderful world of b-side – Sept 17th to 26th 2010 presenting an ambitious, experimental, site responsive and often quirky programme of artists commissions in sound, installation, visual art and live art in unusual locations across Weymouth & Portland, Dorset UK.

Inspired by the flipside of vinyl recordings b-side offers you the opportunity to explore this coastal resort with new eyes. It’s not all kiss me quick hats, ice creams on the esplanade and amusements – there is more…

 

This year we have commissioned brand new work by leading artists that will delight, amuse, inspire and provoke.

 

Take tea with Msr Poopouri, dare to enter the I Scream Van as it prowls along the Esplanade, sit amongst the wild beauty of a coastal community garden and let Portland Islanders coo you to sleep, absorb the sounds and voices of the past as they emerge from the spaces that inspired them or experience a vast panoramic video artwork transforming the Nothe Fort as time itself visibly passes in front of you.
