About
Artist and musician Rob St John presents a unique performance using field recordings, ambient composition and live acoustics, responding to the northern landscapes and the River Dee, depicted in Richard Wilson’s paintings found in Room 34.
Drawing on his long-standing work with communities and landscapes across Northern England, he presents pieces from his recent projects ‘Are You Lost?’ and ‘Lagg’, which explore land access, ecological imagination and deep time, as well as discussing how they came about.
This event is part of Art History Festival 2025 organised by the Association for Art History.
