SUMMARY:Edge Hill Station Garden Launch
DESCRIPTION:For EU DAY OF ARTISTIC CREATIVITY on Wednesday 21 March Metal will be formally re-opening the Edge Hill Station Garden for the growing season with the launch of a new artwork by Dave Evans. \nFollowing a three month residency in the garden Dave will be un-veiling an organic wi-fi mast with the capability of emitting an open access network accessible to garden users and commuters. Developed in collaboration with rail users and garden volunteers this online space will aim to provide an alternative experience to people looking at their phones during the boring commute\, who otherwise would not think of gardening or communicating with each other. It will bring attention to the hidden parts of the internet\, the radio waves\, the rhythms and the physical real world objects the internet needs to function. \nJoin us from 5pm on Wednesday 21 March for an evening of food\, music and the ceremonial unveiling of the totemic wi-fi mast. \n\nPlease note our garden is only accessible via a small number of steps. If you have any access requirements then please get in contact with us at edgehill@metalculture.com \n

SUMMARY:RESIDENT
DESCRIPTION:  \nMost cities share a complex and evolving dialogue between the rural and urban\, the industrial and agricultural\, the built environment and green spaces.
