1. 0rganisation and Management The year 2011/12 was the third consecutive year following Deveron Arts’ strategic programme clustered around the annual themes. 1. Threshold: Intergenerational
2. Sustown: Environment
3. Great (wo-)men of Huntly: Heritage
4. Science of Place: Identity
This programming was successful in gaining financial support (Flexi Funding from Creative Scotland) and finding partnership collaborations locally and internationally. In 2011/12 Deveron Arts has been run by a full time Director (Claudia Zeiske) and a full-time Project Manager (Anna Vermehren). Additionally, two Shadow Curator Interns have been engaged for half a year each to assist the Director; and four Project Interns accompanied each project to assist the Project Manager. In comparison to previous years this sustained staffing level allowed for further consolidation of both the artistic and the organisational side of Deveron Arts’ work, enabling us to engage in a larger range of projects whilst continuing to offer specialised learning opportunities for graduates and up and coming curators. During 2011/12, Deveron Arts made the transition to a Company Limited by Guarantee. This has resulted in the organisation developing a stronger guiding framework and becoming less dependant on the specific skills of individuals. This new business structure has freed up further time, allowing the organisation to continue to develop our truly unique model of contemporary art through place making and community engagement. During the year 2011/12 the following people were involved with Deveron Arts:
Staff
Claudia Zeiske – Director
Anna Vermehren – Project Manager

2. Projects and Programmes
Anthony Schrag - A Perfect Father Day
Fathers are not biological necessities, but social accidents Margaret Mead
What use is a Father? Anthony Schrag is a Canadian artist based in Edinburgh who stayed with us during summer of 2011 to investigate the role of fathers in today's our society. The stereotypical family image - mother, father and two children in a detached or semi-detached house - is fast becoming a myth. This year's census is expected to confirm that a greater proportion of the UK's households now comprise single parents, adult children living with their parents, or pensioners, than 10 years ago when the last census was conducted. Huntly, our town is no exception to this. Rarely a school board meeting passes without acknowledging the fact that there are too few male role models for our young people.
The project explored the shifting dynamic of the 'family unit' as more and more parents - often fathers - live and/or work away or may be absent altogether. In the North East of Scotland where many fathers work offshore or overseas: how does this change our relationship with our children? To address this, Anthony ran several events including:
• Male Role model: a rolling down the hill action.
• Welcome Home: an action greeting dads and other people coming back to Huntly on the commuter train from Aberdeen.
• A Perfect Father Day: a day long exploration of dadness including games, prizes, a Dad-Zone (dads left at own risk), designated dads, and every dad’s favourite: barbeques and beers.
What Use is a Father?: a pub chat unpicking the purpose of patriarchy chaired by Natasha Mauthner (university of Aberdeen) was staged at Huntly Football Club; special guests included David Harding, our very own minister Neil McGregor and all kinds of dads and designated dads from our community and further afield. Shadow Curator: David Harding Website: www.anthonyschrag.com Publication: What Use is a Father? A hands-on publication allowing people to measure their relationship with their fathers, with essays by David Harding and Natasha Mauthner.

Ross Sinclair - Real Life Gordons of Huntly A Gordon for me, a Gordon for me if you're nae a Gordon you're nae use to me the Black Watch
is braw, the Seaforths and a' but the cocky wee Gordon's the pride of them all A Gordon for Me by Robert Wilson
A contemporary examination of the ancestral home of the Clan Gordon and their world-wide diasporas.
Glasgow based Ross Sinclair joined us over the summer in 2011 to examine the heritage of Huntly’s Gordon clan through a contemporary lens. The incredible story of the appearance of the Gordons of Huntly after the Battle of Bannockburn was just the beginning of 500 years of extreme drama. For hundreds of years the Gordon Earls and Dukes were some of the most powerful men in Scotland, second only to the Kings and their heirs. Their story comprises power shifts, battles, intrigue, endless castle building, ransacking, (dis)loyalty to the Kings and Queens of the day, death, disinheritance and finally the lack of an heir leading to the passing of the titles with the death of the Last Duchess of Gordon in 1864. That is with the exception of the title of Marquis, which continues nearby to this day with Granville Gordon, 13th Marquis of Huntly and Earl of Aboyne. But what role do the Gordons play in contemporary Scotland? During his residency, Ross tried to activate and illuminate the incredible story of the Gordons, with which many of the people of Huntly are unfamiliar. After an initial period of research, meetings, introductions and interviews Ross undertook a series of events and performances including visits to the local Gordon Schools and Real Life trips carrying various portraits of Gordon nobility through Huntly and up the Clashmach, our local hill. The Real Life Gordons of Huntly was an event where all the residing Gordons in Huntly listed in the phone book were invited to a lunch at the Castle. The Real Life Portable Museum tour of Huntly Gordon History was launched at the end of September, where people walked around town to the significant Gordon sights with banners and posters illuminating the heritage of the castle, the catholic chapel, the Gordon schools etc. By meeting with local residents and Gordon connections throughout the world, Ross expanded his and our knowledge of the horizons of Huntly and the impact of the Gordon family worldwide.

Roman Signer - Transmissions from the River
May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Übertragungen aus dem Fluss: a transmission of the flow from the River Bogie. In September 2011, Swiss artist Roman Signer joined Deveron Arts to develop and screen his new work Transmissions from the River, constructed on Huntly's River Bogie. A camera, fixed on to a wooden cross-like structure, was strung from the local bridge and floated out into the river. From the bobbing structure the camera recorded the movement of the water in the surrounding landscape, while its imagery was transmitted live to a nearby shop. The work developed from an early memory of the artist, who lived next to a river as a boy.
‘Transmitting imagery from the middle of a river to a place inhabited by people is something I wanted to do for a very long time; it’s like a childhood dream come true.' Sparked by Signer’s seemingly simple, yet highly theorised artworks Deveron Arts organised an intensive peer-led symposium addressing the state of critical art discourse and its role in the public realm. 'Who Are We Writing For?' led by Deveron Arts Fellow Amy Fung poses the question 'Can we be both critical AND publicly accessible when it comes to discussing contemporary art? Website: www.romansigner.ch/en Publication: Transmissions from the River is currently under development.

Priya Ravish Mehra - Making the Invisible Visible
If there’s a hole in a’ your coats, I rede you tent it… Robert Burns
Exploring textile traditions with the assistance of master darners Intekhab Ahmad and Zakir Hussain. Priya came to Huntly in autumn 2011 with her son Udayan and two darners from the Rafoogari tradition. In Scotland the linen boom of the 18th century gave rise to Huntly’s own unique textile history. The knitting factory on Gordon Street finally closed its doors in the early 1990s. And while our relationship to textiles is largely dominated by mass production and cheap purchases, there is also a growing interest among young people for up-cycling or mending to make unique and affordable pieces.
Together with two invited members of the Rafoogari community, Intekhab Ahmad and Zakir Hussain, Priya’s project worked in parallel with this indigenous tradition to highlight the hand skills needed in today’s context, linking the past with the present. During Priya’s residency numerous new and traditional Scottish garments and textiles were brought into the empty shop for invisible repair by Intekhab and Zakir. Demonstrations, workshops and events were also undertaken throughout the residency, reaching out to the local textile and craft community. For her final presentation Priya hosted a Craft Maker’s Tour of Huntly on 29th October. This event showcased over 15 contemporary craft practitioners’ talents and skills, and was presented in various locations throughout Huntly. There was also a chance to take a guided walking tour of Huntly’s Textile Heritage, adapted for Deveron Arts by local textile historian, Joanneke Kruijsen-Boyd. The route was marked with interactive textile artworks and ended at the now closed Brander Museum where a shrine to the textile industry, created by Priya, had been installed. Later that evening local revellers were greeted by Diwali-meets-Halloween lanterns and celebrations. In association with Cove Park Website: www.khojworkshop.org/user/priya_ravish_mehra Publication: Making the Invisible Visible. With texts by Joanneke Kruijsen and Jessica Hemming

Mihret Kebede - Slow Marathon
The Ba’Hill, the Battlehill, the Clashmach and the Bin, They all form a circle and Addis lies within.
traditional A 5,850 miles walk from Addis to Scotland and back. Ethiopian artist Mihret Kebede visited Huntly in winter 2012. Today we are often asked to pay attention to our carbon footprint and travel by means other than by air. For some people this is expensive and difficult, for others impossible, impacting on their right to mobility. Mihret would have liked to walk the 5,850 miles from her home in Addis Ababa to Aberdeenshire. However the physical difficulties of navigating through the deserts, let alone the closed borders and visa restrictions make such a feat almost impossible.
In order for Mihret to accumulate the 5,850 miles, the distance from Addis to Huntly, she needed a total of 225 people to walk a marathon of 26 miles - each way.
225 people x 26 miles = 5,850 miles distance To achieve this goal she organised a Slow Marathon that took place on Saturday the 17th of March around Huntly, with a parallel walking event in Addis Ababa on the next day to bring her back home. In the run up to this, and in collaboration with Norma D Hunter, Mihret organised training sessions and other walking actions that brought people locally and from all over the world together to contribute to the total distance target through an accumulative marathon. A shoelace exchange symbolically linking Huntly and Ethiopian walkers became part of the process. Multi-world record holder Haile Gebrselassie was a patron for this event, his shoelaces travelling to Scotland for an exchange with one of participants in Huntly. The event was complemented by a discussion entitled Walk sans Frontières, chaired by Deirdre Heddon. Speakers: Ron Brander, Jim Crumley, Mihret Kebede, Hayden Lorimer, Calum Murray, Misha Myers, Helen Needham, Clare Qualmann and Dawn Tuckwood. Shadow Curator: Tessa Jackson Website: www.netsaartvillage.com/MIHRETKEBEDE.html Publication: A publication is currently under development.

Norma D Hunter - Arts Visitor
When all your desires are distilled, you will cast just two votes: to love more and be happy
Hafiz A new model to improve cultural health in the community Norma D Hunter is an artist and health professional. Living close to Huntly, Norma was invited for a yearlong collaboration in 2011/12 to test the potential of the new role of the Arts Visitor. This is a concept that is lent from the tried and tested NHS Community Health Visitor; however, the Arts Visitor role instead focuses on people’s cultural health.
In this post Norma specialised in socially engaged artwork. She collaborated with visiting artists and local people to design projects where community issues were central to the outcomes. As a result her work spans many different art forms including performance, installation, walking and events. Norma undertook a number of projects alongside our visiting artists. With Ross Sinclair she set up a mass Gay Gordon; with Anthony Schrag she helped to recruit designated dads for A Perfect Father Day; with Priya Ravish Mehra she designed a special Diwali infused Halloween, and with Mihret Kebede she was instrumental in designing the accumulative marathon. Norma also undertook a number of her own projects including It's Knot Magic, a modern day pilgrimage, walking 130 k with a sample of the healing water from the Clootie Wells of Munlochy back to Huntly. This project coincided with the visit by Mark Inglis, from New Zealand who is the only double amputee who climbed Mount
Everest. Mark joined Norma for the last 10 k of her walk from Ruthven to Huntly. During her year as Arts Visitor Norma worked in particular with the Huntly Cancer Support and Huntly Mental Health Groups as part of the pARTners assignment funded by Creative Scotland. Prior to becoming a full time artist Norma spent many years working in the fields of Health and Social Care.

2. Other Projects and Events UK Border Walk
Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking. Mohandas Gandh
A walk along the Scottish/English border to highlight restrictive visa policies for overseas artists. Artist Rocca Gutteridge and Claudia Zeiske undertook a walk along the Scottish/English border in reaction to the introduction of the Tier 5 visa policy for foreign artists on 5-7 August 2011.
UK Border Walk was a 77km walk along the English/Scottish border from the Upsettlington to Hungry Law via Shid Law. It included an Artachat discussion in the Romany town of Kirk Yetholm, the halfway point of the walk, about the detrimental effects of the new visa regulations for overseas artists. Both walk and talk highlighted and discussed the effects the Points Based System has for arts and cultural activities across our communities in the UK. The UK Border Talk was an open debate on the consequences of the PBS to UK cultural life. Speakers included Manick Govinda, visual artist Zineb Sedira, photographer Baudouin Mouanda, novelist Kamila Shamsie, artist/cultural commentator Nicholas Trench and Venu Dhupa, Director of Creative Development for Creative Scotland. People had the option to join for: the whole walk (ca 37 km on 5/6 August and 40km on 7 August); very strenuous and full equipment required. all Sunday (ca 40km) very strenuous and full equipment required. 5km and back on the Sunday morning, returning to Kirk Yetholm ca 12pm. The UK Border Walk continued towards Hungry Law the next day; joined by many for the 5km for the 5 Tier policy walk despite appalling weather conditions. What is PBS? In autumn 2008 the UK introduced a new points based system (PBS) for managing migration to the UK. The regulations have led to a restriction of non-European artists’ ability to come to the UK at the invitation of arts curators, promoters and artists. UK hosts are now required to be licensed sponsors if they wish to invite visiting artists. This has regulated the relationship between international artists and UK hosts from one of convivial artistic exchange, collaboration and cultural production to a contract which is excessively bureaucratic and treats international guest artists with suspicion and control. PBS has led to the cancellation of artists’ residencies, exhibitions, productions and performances across the UK. Many artists are refused visas while others are deported from UK airports because they were not sponsored. For a full dossier of testimonials, petition to UK Government and media coverage visit the Manifesto Club’s website.
UK Border Walk was a partnership between: Deveron Arts, Artachat, Manifesto Club and ARTSADMIN. In collaboration with GASWORKS, Thami Mynyele Foundation and Edinburgh Arts Festival.

Amy Fung - Huntly Review
Always focus on the front windshield and not the rear-view mirror. Colin Powell
Can ordinary life be critically reviewed like art works? Amy Fung is an Art Critic and writer from Edmonton in Canada. She joined us for six months in the summer of 2011. Amy’s research interests are in identity politics and the locality of place. Amy was the visiting BME Arts Writing and Curating Fellow for Deveron Arts, a partnership with Peacock Visual Arts. Besides tending to a series of in-house writing tasks Amy was editing The Huntly Review, an online archive of cultural observations and commentaries. The Huntly Review explored our town and its daily ongoings from a critical point of view. A key question for both Amy and Deveron Arts is: can we be both critical AND publicly accessible when it comes to discussing contemporary art? As a response to this question Amy Fung led an intensive peer-led symposium addressing the state of critical art discourse and its role in the public realm. Who Are We Writing For? was sparked by Roman Signer’s project Transmissions From the River commissioned by Deveron Arts. Amy asked us how does one talk about his seemingly simple, yet highly theorised artworks? This led on to a bigger discussion on how to write about art accessibly but still maintaining criticality. Discussion Participants: artist Briony Anderson/London, editor and writer Alice Bain/Edinburgh, editor and writer Claire Barliant/New York, curator Lewis Biggs/London/Shanghai, critic Amy Fung/Canada, writer David Gordon/Ruthven, artist and media expert Rocca Gutteridge/Edinburgh, journalist Moira Jeffery/Glasgow, curator Michelle Kasprzak/Amsterdam, writer Susan Mansfield/Edinburgh, artist and curator Gayle Meikle/Glasgow, curator Jennifer Melville/Aberdeen, artist and curators Keh Ng and Matthew Stock (the Modern Language Experiment/London), educator and writer Neil Mulholland/Edinburgh, educator Dominic Paterson/Glasgow, writer Ine Poppe/Amsterdam, curator Nuno Sacramento/Lumsden, prose writer Maureen Ross/Huntly, journalist Pat Scott/Huntly, curator Vera Tollmann/Berlin, arts administrator Frances Williams/London, arts coordinator Sarah Yearsley/Edinburgh, artist Charlotte Young/London and curator Claudia Zeiske/Huntly.

Rocca Gutteridge - Walkingand...
I walk, therefore I am. Pierre Gassendi
Working towards an Institute of Walking Appreciation through an online archive. Rocca Gutteridge - originally from London - has a lot of interest in art and walking. She stayed with us for two months over the summer of 2011 to produce the walkingand... website.
Following on from Hamish Fulton's project,'21 Days in the Cairngorms' Rocca was commissioned to build a new website exploring the many facets of walking - Walkingand…. Art, Politics, Parades, Love, Literature... you name it, she has covered it. Walkingand... is an ongoing investigation. If you have a passion/interest/or idea for walking let us know. Rocca also collaborated with Deveron Arts in our Walkachats project and the UK Border Walk, all investigating the threshold between art and walking as a political, cultural and fitness tool Websites: www.walkingand.org www.roccagutteridge.co.uk
