The first in a series of Radar events inviting artists and researchers to take a sideways look at Loughborough University's arts collection, as part of a wider programme of intepretation and conservation led by LU Arts. 

Over the past year, NEUSCHLOSS has been visiting, and thinking about, the sited sculptures of Loughborough University campus. The project grew out of an initial proposal, which considered games and game-play as a potentially interesting device to activate the sculptures in new and surprising ways. Since then, NEUSCHLOSS has been developing collaborative texts that take role-play and games as a form, or that have been produced by group game-play and improvisation. This event is an opportunity to experience some of these texts in progress at the sculptures and to participate in generating new texts for the project.

NEUSCHLOSS is an irregular coalition of teaching staff and research students at Northumbria University, interested in experimental collaborative practice, in particular in relation to the context of the academic institution.

The methodology of NEUSCHLOSS is drawn from a tension between antagonist and protagonist; NEUSCHLOSS oscillates between the two positions by both responding to opportunities that present themselves within the institutional framework and seeking out further opportunities of reflective activation beyond that framework. The on-going dialogue between members in their workplace allows for a very particular form of rigour in proposition, negotiation and realisation.
