D4D: Electric Bodies - 'Making Links' poetry and interview content

D4D (Disability and Community: Dis/engagement, Dis/enfranchisement, Dis/parity and Dissent) was a four year AHRC Connected Communities project investigating issues around disability and community.Electric Bodies was one of the eight project strands. It explored the relationship between the disabled artist and the disability arts community through a series of extensive life history interviews edited into transcription poetry cycles. 'Making Links' is a cycle of transcription poems written by Allan Sutherland. They are based on interviews conducted by Sutherland with the sculptor and arts administrator Tony Heaton.The poems cover Heaton's early life, the motorcycle accident which caused his spinal injury, his artistic development, and his work creating resources for disabled visual artists. Heaton recounts the years working for RADAR and NACAB which led to his positions as Director of Holton Less and CEO of Shape. He describes the creation of the Adam Reynolds Bursary and the Shape Open. His artistic works are discussed, including 'Springback', 'Split', 'Great Britain from a Wheelchair', and 'Monument to the Unintended Performer', his installation for the BIG 4 sculpture outside Channel Four's offices in 2012.This item contains the following files:The poems (PDF)Recording of Allan Sutherland reading the poems (MP3)Transcripts of the interviews (PDF)Audio of the interviews (3 x MP3)This content has been uploaded with the permission of the creators.

D4D（残疾与社区：脱离/参与，剥夺/赋权，不平/均等与异见）是一项为期四年的AHRC（英国艺术与人文研究理事会）联合社区项目，旨在探究围绕残疾与社区的问题。'Electric Bodies'是该项目的八个分支之一，通过一系列广泛的生命历程访谈，编辑成转录诗歌循环，探讨了残疾艺术家与残疾艺术社区之间的关系。《建立联系》是艾伦·萨瑟兰创作的诗歌循环。这些诗歌基于萨瑟兰对雕塑家和艺术管理者托尼·海顿的访谈而作。诗歌涵盖了海顿的早年生活、导致其脊椎受伤的摩托车事故、其艺术发展以及为残疾视觉艺术家创建资源的作品。海顿回顾了在RADAR和NACAB工作期间的经历，这些经历最终使他成为霍顿莱斯董事和Shape公司首席执行官。他描述了亚当·雷诺兹奖学金和Shape开放的创建。讨论了他的艺术作品，包括《反弹》、《分裂》、《从轮椅看大不列颠》和《意外表演者的纪念碑》，这是他在2012年为Channel Four办公室外的BIG 4雕塑创作的装置艺术。此项目包含以下文件：诗歌（PDF）、艾伦·萨瑟兰朗读诗歌的录音（MP3）、访谈转录（PDF）以及访谈音频（3 x MP3）。此内容已在创作者的许可下上传。此内容受版权保护，未经许可不得使用。使用此仓库即表示您同意遵守其政策和相关版权法律。
