3 islands artists workshopPutting 20 artists from various cultural, geographical and creative backgrounds onto a remote island can provided a unique insight into contemporary creative thoughts and processes. What happens when a Cuban Contortionist meets a South African Sculptor on a small Scottish island? It’s anyone’s guess really, but one thing is clear, that by putting creative people in new surroundings they are inspired to work in new ways and the results are often fascinating.
3 islands the idea
3 Islands takes this idea forward in an exploration of ideas. People and place intertwine in weird and wonderful ways, observing and creating from unique perspectives and providing fascinating insights in the process.
Triangle InternationalBut the story doesn’t stop there. 3 Islands is in fact part of a much bigger picture – a brotherhood stretching round the globe. When Robert Loder and Sir Anthony Caro, initiated the first Triangle workshop in an inspired move, they could not have known that it’s success would take it to over twenty countries around the world from Austrailia to Venezula. 3 Islands is just one of the latest workshops started under Triangle International.
The Triangle Idea
The story is made all the more remarkable by the fact that the principles underpinning Triangle workshops – in their freedom of expression – very often work in direct contradiction to the controlling powers of the countries involved. The fact that individuals have worked to overcome such challenges and run Triangle workshops in adverse conditions is testament to strength of the original idea and what it means to people. |
