At @theremotebody we are pleased to present Time:Distance (2012) by artist filmmaker Holly Antrum @holly___antrum . We will be screening this film online and sharing additional materials developed by our collaboration throughout March. “Through skirting her mother’s chronic fatigue, the filmmaker suggests a bodily sense of observed duration and distance through the use of a wind- up camera. The film oscillates between tapestry-like detail and abstraction, where analogue and digital sub-clips intersect and imitate each other to portray a playfully dream-like episode of being. Collaging fragmented communications, place, and presence exchanged while filming in a rural, hybrid, England – home is where the body is both sick and ecstatic; is sheltered; spiritualised; and its energy measured. Decimal accuracy blurs and merges with familial physicality and embodied time – sun and moon.” Time:Distance Super 16mm on SD 11.30 mins 2012 Link in bio to subscribe to view the film from next week and hear the new audio description commissioned by the remote body. Our new audio description has been scripted in collaboration with Joseph Rizzo Naudi @joeraudi @descript.art , the filmmaker and Char Heather @charheatherr The creative description process led by Joseph, has been turned into a further creative audio description (CAD) and text written by Gayathiri Kamalakanathan @unembarrassable and produced by DesCript.

An extract from the Des Cript description, poet Annie Hayter describes Honor's sculpture. Listen to the whole description in the Uncanny Gallery on Heads Bodies Legs website. A person in a white shirt, a head scarf and a silver wrist watch stands in front of a window. They have their back to the camera. They hold a swathe of white fabric marked with red thread crosses. The crosses outline the shape of a body. Beneath them is a table with panels of pink, blue and white fabric, these are the colours of the Trans flag. There is a panel of green fabric on the table and in the garden through the window trees are green and bright.

An extract from the Des Cript description, poet Annie Hayter describes Meg's costume. Listen to the whole description in the Uncanny Gallery on Heads Bodies Legs website. A person ankle deep in water stands in a creek under a bridge wearing a sheer skirt and top. The transparent material is decorated with the glint of a slug trail. Their arm and leg is held aloft, giving the appearance of them radiating out of the water.

An extract from the Des Cript description, poet Annie Hayter describes K.A Harper'w costume. Listen to the whole description in the Uncanny Gallery on Heads Bodies Legs website. A person with red eyes and lips stares out of a balaclava. White fabric binds their chest, their arms bare and tattooed, their shoulders shimmer. Across their waist hangs an apron printed with the handprints of their mother and grandmother. The lifelines of their lineage lined in red. They stand in muddy waters and lean towards the camera, their gaze determined. *The gloves mentioned in the audio description were not worn the day of the shoot. K.A Harper's costume is part of Heads Bodies Legs Uncanny Waters series. @ka.harper #uncannywaters Description: @hannieayter @descript.art Photo by: @raymalonephotos @aceagrams

An extract from the Des Cript description, poet Annie Hayter describes George's gloves. Listen to the whole description in the Uncanny Gallery on Heads Bodies Legs website. A person wearing glasses, and gloves made of found-glass shards which have been soldered together and shaped around delicate hands. They pose with their hands around their face, echoing a 1950s Vogue cover model. They stand outside in the sunlight against a wall of graffiti. The model Francisco Zhan is modelling the work of the artist: George Cox. Mending/ Mended by George Cox is part of Heads Bodies Legs Uncanny Waters series. @gwscox @francisco.zhan #uncannywaters Description: @hannieayter @descript.art Photo by: @raymalonephotos @aceagrams

An extract from the Des Cript description, poet Annie Hayter describes Medusa's costume. Listen to the whole description in the Uncanny Gallery on Heads Bodies Legs website. An image of Medusa Has Been standing in Creek water. She wears a silver helmet of snakes, a silver dress and a generous moustache. She holds a trident and a shield bearing Medusa’s face. Her dress is adorned with silver and fabric tamas, embossed metal images, traditionally offered in Greek churches to give thanks or request divine assistance. Here, the tamas are cut from old lasagna tins, with every element of Medusa’s costume found or recycled. Billowing white fabric flows from her cuffs as she gazes fiercely into the distance. Reminiscent of an image of Britannia, this Medusa is a queer, reclaimed, reimagined warrior and protector for our times. Medusa's Lament by Medusa Has Been, part of Heads Bodies Legs Uncanny Waters series. @medusa.has.been #uncannywaters Description: @hannieayter @descript.art Photo: @raymalonephotos @aceagrams

Listen to an extract of the audio description created by Kimberly Campanello (@kimberly.campanello ) in collaboration with the blind-led artwork description collective DesCript (@descript.art ). Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy's leaf sculptures in our exhibition Passing Strange, her text closely describes the artworks, evoking the tactile allure of these delicate objects. To guide the process, DesCript set specific rules: the only access to the artwork she had was through the recording and transcript of the collaborative description conversation held in front of it; she was not given photographs of the artwork to work from or permitted to visit the exhibition during the writing process; she did not know the name of the artist or the context of the exhibition. To learn more about why DesCript chose this approach to audio description, please visit @descript.art .

This audio descriptive poem by Nadine El-Enany (@nadineelenany ) is one of three created in collaboration with the blind-led artwork description collective DesCript (@descript.art ). The poem is inspired by Emii Alrai’s Mast Head, Half Flag from our exhibition Fragment and Form. It describes the sculpture as it appears in the gallery space, and invites listeners to imagine different interpretations of its plaster form. To create these poems, DesCript's process began with a collaborative description conversation held in front of each artwork, guided by blind writer Joseph Rizzo Naudi (@joeraudi ) and involving Henry Moore Institute staff. These conversations were recorded, and the audio and transcripts were sent to the poet Nadine El-Enany. Nadine’s task was to write a poem that lets the listener or reader experience the artwork, even if they cannot visit the exhibition, see a photograph, or know anything else about it. To guide the process, DesCript set specific rules: the only access to the artwork Nadine had was through the recording and transcript of the collaborative description conversation held in front of it; she was not given photographs of the artwork to work from or permitted to visit the exhibition during the writing process; she did not know the name of the artist or the context of the exhibition.

This audio descriptive poem by Nadine El-Enany (@nadineelenany ) was created in collaboration with the blind-led artwork description collective DesCript (@descript.art ). The poem is inspired by Mónica Mays’ Without Ornamental Value from our exhibition Fragment and Form and describes the sculpture in detail and gives a vivid sense of its presence in the gallery. Our audio descriptions are created with blind and partially blind visitors in mind, but can be enjoyed by anyone. They are available via QR codes in the galleries and on our website: henry-moore.org/whats-on/fragment-and-form Video description: the voices of blind writer Joseph Rizzo Naudi and poet Nadine El-Enany are accompanied by images of the artwork in the gallery.

Listen to an extract of a poem created by Nadine El-Enany (@nadineelenany ) in collaboration with the blind-led artwork description collective DesCript (@descript.art ). Inspired by Dominique White’s The domination of Nothing in our exhibition Fragment and Form, her poem closely describes the sculpture, constructing it phase by phase as if the artwork were being made in front of us. Listen to the full track and other poems on our website.

We are very very excited to announce this upcoming free event with blind writer Joseph Rizzo Naudi - a multi-sensory workshop to bring you into intimate contact with artworks. 📆 Wednesday 27th August ⌚ 6.30pm - 8.30pm 📺 ONLINE 🌱 2 hours (with breaks) Guided by Joseph, we will explore collaborative, blindness-led approaches to beholding, describing and communicating artworks. Joseph’s practice invites us to draw on our unique sensory, biographical and place based perspectives to develop and communicate descriptions founded in blind knowledge making. Over two hours we will co-create new, self-contained, language-based artworks, and reflect on experimental image description processes and practices. This is an active participation workshop and you will be invited to engage in conversation, listening and witnessing. It is open to anyone based in Scotland, no experience or preparation is necessary, all art practices and arts workers are welcome. Blind people and non-blind people are equally welcome. Come as you are, wear what you like, BYOB (bring your own body). Places are limited so please book early! BSL interpretation available - please do let us know if you require BSL interpretation. Register at the LINK IN BIO Joseph Rizzo Naudi @joeraudi is a blind writer and facilitator based in London, United Kingdom. He is a Techne postgraduate researcher at Royal Holloway, University of London, where he is exploring artwork description, fiction technique and blindness as a generative approach. Joseph runs DesCript @descript.art , a artwork description collective which works against traditional ideas of access as a product or service designed to compensate for a perceived lack, and seeks to reframe artwork description as an inclusive creative practice and literary form.
