CHALKUP21

#CHALKUP21 #Dover #DoverArtsDevelopment

Today we're looking back at Matthias Koch's photography exhibition at The Wing building, co-hosted by @Memorial_theFew. Koch is interested in the overlapping of layers of time and his architectural overviews show the intersection of many different periods within Dover's history.

Some things from a wander around Folkestone in the sunshine today: Beach hut in the Style of Nicholas Hawksmoor by Pablo Bronstein, Jelly Mould Pavilion by Lubaina Himid and Casa Anacoana by Sol Calero:

'Dover has continued to gently take root in me, year after year, and as I continue to journey to other places, learning to experience places through the intimate, the microscopic, and the epic scales, through a grand sense of time' — Anna Liu, @tonkinliu #CHALKUP21

Planning a weekend by the sea in sunny #Kent? We have a 17-mile public art and #architecture walk stretching between #Folkestone and #Deal — perfect for a trip outside in the summer. Discover chalkup21.com to learn more about the trail & some of our tips along the way

In a world where an invisible virus can cause disruption around the world, it is also strangely comforting to see something so small build to create something so beautiful, (in this case, at the rate of about half a millimetre per year) #CHALKUP21

The chalk downs around #Folkestone and #Dover are looking wonderful at the moment with #harebells and burnet saxifrage joining scabious, marjoram, thyme and lady's bedstraw in flower #StayAlert #biodiversity @KentDownsAONB @DoverDC @fstonehythedc

"A Defra study shows that exposure to marine and coastal environments has positive effects on human health and well-being" The science is affirming what our hearts already knew 💚 a commitment to environmental protections is positive news! #CHALKUP21 gov.uk/government/new…

Our contemporary architecture and public art is our future heritage; those buildings and artworks that people may remember us by in 100 years. #CHALKUP21 is a trail that celebrates those buildings and public artworks in the present. chalkup21.com

"There is nothing simple about looking. For me this is where the idea lies. Buildings are part of wider systems of ideas and cultural meaning for sure. But they also contain ideas in the way they are assembled, composed, built." — @charlesjholland dadonline.uk/updates/charle…

Amongst the challenges of climate change and mounting environmental concerns, buildings like The Pines Calyx (Kent) make zero carbon living a practical and economical reality #CHALKUP21 youtube.com/watch?v=1xqFuS…

"The Esplanade harnesses the architectural language of Dover’s identity; the gentle nature of waves on the sheltered beach, the rhythmical sweep of the Georgian Seafront Terrace and the undulating topography of the White Cliffs of Dover" - @tonkinliu #CHALKUP21

In June 2018, a group of 16 wayfarers joined Gabor Stark for a spatial practice promenade along the #CHALKUP21 trail. Participants were invited to actively engage with Dover’s built environment; to ‘do’ #art and #architecture and to perform and to intervene in space.
