6 Moved by Art Moved By Art 2014 is a multi-disciplinary arts project from partners David Sinclair (the The Civic Barnsley), Charlotte Armitage (e-dance.net) and Wayne Sables (Wayne Sables Project) and funded by the Arts Council, England. The aim of Moved By Art is to enthuse and engage artists, young people, the local and wider community in appreciation, exploration, collaboration and creation of high quality mixed genre artwork, inspired by and in response to specific exhibitions curated by the The Civic in Barnsley. Phase 1: Moved By Art 'Velo'. After a number of visits to The Bike Show at the Gallery, a visual artist worked to create a grand bike inspired sculpture as a centrepiece to the first phase of the project. Two groups of young people from Horizon CC and Darton College then created, alongside two choreographers, bike-related performance pieces interacting with and around the sculpture. These high-energy pieces were then performed at Horizon CC for the Princess Anne visit, Darton College for many young audience members and at Locke Park for the final grand celebration event.

8 Bike Show Yorkshire was proud to host the start of the 2014 Tour de France, and The Civic celebrated with a fantastic new exhibition. Curated in conjunction with Sheffield-based Eleven Design, BIKE SHOW appealed to cycling devotees, the interested amateur and cycling novices alike. With an emphasis on the influence of cycling culture on contemporary design, the exhibition explored technological advancements and the best in innovation, presenting particularly unusual and pioneering examples of this two-wheeled transport. The exhibition examined the spectacle of the Tour De France its history, its language and the riders who have ridden it. Bicycles made of sustainable materials, recycled bicycles and bicycles that answer many of the practical issues of contemporary bike ownership were all on display. Notable exhibits included a vintage Tour bicycle ridden by Greg LeMond and kindly loaned by Barnsley Road Club; frames by Italian bicycle frame builder Dario Pegoretti; vintage jerseys and shoes and the best in contemporary bicycle design from the likes of Ben Wilson, Mark Sanders, Biomega and Philippe Starck. BIKE SHOW will also demonstrated the interesting and intriguing ways in which the cycling movement has inspired other facets of design, such as furniture. Iconic exhibits including Marcel Breuer's Wassily Chair, and design classics such as Thonet's Bentwood Chair, sat alongside contemporary pieces such as Rui Alves' Tour Chair. Born into a family of artisanal woodworkers and with an education in industrial design, Rui Alves combined his passion for bicycle culture and love of the Tour, with his simple and practical design approach. The result was a chair with functionality, style and personality just like the great race that inspired it. BIKE SHOW took place at The Gallery@ The Civic from 16 May to 12 July 2014 and admission was free. six

31 MBA 2014 Feedback Quotes I can't believe we actually get to perform this in front of Princess Anne! Student, Horizon CC, MBA Velo It's wonderful to see it all come together and in such a beautiful setting Member of the audience, Locke Park Velo performance, MBA Velo This is exactly the kind of partnership and event we love having in the park Friends of Locke Park, MBA Velo At Horizon community college all students have compulsory dance lessons during y7/8, and although many students love the subject there are some students who find it difficult to engage. These are often students who have low self-esteem and confidence, but can also be some of our most intelligent students who just find it difficult to face a new subject that challenges them in a different way. As part of our ongoing target setting we would love to engage these students and provide an opportunity for them to see dance in a different light. Charlotte and Wayne are the type of inspirational role models that these young people need to spark their creativity and interest towards the subject and we would absolutely love to work with them in trying to make dance more accessible and sustainable for these students. - Teacher, Horizon CC, MBA Velo Are they actually dancing on that bike sculpture?! Awesome Student, Darton College, MBA Velo

39 I see the fear and determination of the miners Standing up for what is right I smell a cold losing battle Sometimes what s wrong is what is right These people need to feed their families Just like I need to feed mine Authority is out the window We are not protecting We are fighting a battle Where there is one clear side I smell a cold losing battle Hiding behind this shield

55 How are we meant to live? Expand, progress Pain is present and poverty is the future What will be of this war My son, away in his dreams Reaching for his goals Turned to stone, reduced to tears Left to fend for himself What is a Father to do Provide? Teach? A Father can do nothing Except fight

56 Exhibition Identity - Coalfieds

58 It feels like yesterday I walked into my Father s shadow, he was a better man than me, to defend this small country From a miner to a soldier, he left to go to war, to ensure no threat from hellish men would taint our country s shore. For a year the pit wheel stood still, I noticed is shadow as a lengthy one, a longer one than mine His medals rest in silence now remind me of the time when my dad and others like him came from the darkness to fight and die like lionhearts, to drive the threat away. My dad was lucky he came through the darkest day but many of his mates on the battlefield they lay, but he never did forget them, he prayed everyday and he remembered at the cenotaph as the years went on each day. From a miner to a soldier and again a a miner he, that is why I say that my old dad was a better man than me, for although I was a miner, just like my dad before, I could never be a superman like my dad was in the war. God bless you dad, rest in glorious peace now and thank you and your pals for what you did us all. for

61 Coalfields Coalfields was an exhibition to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the miners' strike. Driven by a clash of political ideologies, the yearlong strike was the biggest single episode of British social upheaval since World War II. The conflict between the National Union of Mineworkers and Margaret Thatcher's conservative government marked a fundamental change in industrial relations that still resonates today, highlighting a seismic shift in Britain's employment base and defining the move from a manufacturing driven economy to one reliant on service industries. The exhibition at The Gallery@ The Civic was held in two sections, the first part being a photographic exhibition by Andrew Foley. His work examined the changed landscape of mining communities since the Miners' Strike, and featured contemporary images from the sites of all 44 collieries in the South Yorkshire Coalfields open immediately prior to the dispute. Each image was accompanied by information on workforce numbers and coal tonnage immediately prior to the dispute, together with details of the colliery's fate and future usage of the site. The second half of the exhibition featured Jeremy Deller s The Battle of Orgreave Archive (An Injury to One is an Injury to All) ; an installation comprising texts, documents, objects, videos and other archival material which provided a context for examining the intertwined narratives of two events: the 1984 strike by the National Union of Mineworkers (in particular the specific confrontation between striking miners and the police that occurred at the Orgreave Coking Plant in Yorkshire on 18 June 1984), and Deller's 2001 re-enactment of the same conflict, which the artist called The Battle of Orgreave.

Phase 2: Moved By Art 'Coal'. 'Coal' worked with two different groups of young people from Barnsley College and Horizon CC. Under the leadership of poet James Nash, students responded to the Coalfields exhibition at the Gallery by creating powerful poetry, protest posters, photography and placards. To connect with Barnsley's rich coal history, the final works were performed in the Gallery alongside their own artwork and a short film was screened documenting their journey through the project and using special interviews with members of the Truth & Justice Campaign.
