SUMMARY:Speke Hall: Speke Hall & Bluecoat: Serena Korda: The Bell Tree
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 8 September - Sunday 28 Jul 2019 \nOff-site at Speke 
 Hall / Open Daily 10.30am – 4pm\nBluecoat is delighted to be working wit
 h artist Serena Korda and Trust New Art\, the National Trust’s prog
 ramme connecting people to places through contemporary art.\nSerena Korda
  works across performance\, sound and sculpture to find and highlight ri
 tual in the everyday\, which is developed through encounters\, conversatio
 ns and the researching of abandoned histories.\nSet in Speke Hall’s an
 cient woodlands and grounds\, The Bell Tree draws on the hall’s hidden
  history. Korda reconsiders aspects of communion and tradition\, including
  underexplored feminist narratives or ‘herstories’ and alternative his
 tories of folklore and witchcraft. The public commission is at Speke Hall
 \, with a smaller element installed in Bluecoat's garden.\nInspired by the
  folklore that surrounds the native bluebells that grow beneath its branch
 es\, The Bell Tree celebrates the dark side of the fairy kingdom. This n
 ew sculpture comprising ceramics and an audio track explores the spirit of
  this ancient site and the power of myth embodied in this most protected o
 f English flowers.\nContinuing Korda’s fascination in making sounds beyo
 nd human hearing audible is reflected in the soundscape that forms part of
  The Bell Tree (which can be listened to on the National Trust website) 
 which transforms you into a nature spirit. Stand in front of The Bell Tre
 e\, watch the bells move in the breeze and then\, through listening to the
  audio on your phone\, immerse yourself in the ringing of bluebells played
  by the bell ringers of Garston St. Michael's Church. These melodic sounds
  are accompanied by an angry band of fairies\, performed by local choir Mo
 stly Madrigals and a capella group Mouthful.\nSpeke Hall is free to visit 
 with a National Trust Membership.\nSerena Korda’s work reconsiders aspe
 cts of tradition in our lives\, under-explored feminist narratives - herst
 ories - and alternative histories of folklore and witchcraft. She was the 
 2016-17 Norma Lipman &amp\; BALTIC Fellow in Ceramic Sculpture at Newcastl
 e University\, and has curated The Daughters of Necessity exhibition at T
 he Hepworth (Dec 2017 - Jun 2018)\, choosing ceramic works from their coll
 ection\, sited alongside her own. She is currently working on a new commis
 sion for Horniman Museum &amp\; Gardens.\nImage credits: Chris Egon Searl
