17 to 24 JULY
The Storegga Slide is reported to be one of the largest known landslides in recorded history. Occurring off the west coast of Norway, the subsequent megatsunami is thought to have eventually separated Britain from mainland Europe, and mark the end of the Mesolithic age. Doggerland, the now submerged area in the North Sea, has proven to be a rich resource for archaeological purposes as more artefacts are being discovered.
Doggerland is a collaborative research project documenting the breadth of artistic-led activity across the UK, contributing toward a culture in critical engagement and dialogue with audiences that is currently felt lacking between the younger or independent projects.
Between 17th - 24th July, Doggerland will be in residence at Five Years, inviting a selection of previous artists, project coordinators, writers and curators encountered along the way, to come together and present an overview of their practices in whichever form they see fit. The Storegga Slide will provide an opportunity to discuss the current state of artist-led culture, whilst framing the event in a series of performances, readings, actions or artworks.

26 TO 31 JULY
There is a strain of resistance marked by various refusals of a story concerning “innocent powers” and utility. This would be the story of morality, equality and opportunity.
The strain of resistance often begins with a radical critique, including those forms of critique which engender a mute refusal or a cognitive refusal.
Fear is a duration of supported stasis, structurally conservative and re-enforced by the paranoid state which relies on the aforementioned story to maintain its homogeneity.
However a huge amount of energy must be exerted to maintain such apparent idyllic stillness, and thresholds to affect remain, despite the repeated attempts to commodify or weaponize this zone of existence.
As a continuation of these threads, Fear + Trembling _ is a project about whatever can queer the metastability of the culture/politic relation. It is a project about different objects, voices and being.

SCHOOL OF CALIDITY A SUMMER PERIPATETIC SCHOOL AT FIVE YEARS
1 JULY TILL 13 JULY
The tradition of the warm worlds where slowness , conversations and walking are part of a quotidian way of relating , learning and communicating. The nature , the clima , the atmosphere …. all count as the elements that form an ethos and a pathos . Can the principle of Calidity be found on Northern lights and social structures? Can Calidity , subvert , infect or affect its so rigid ways of living and thinking ?
The Calidity School is an open workshop hosted by Esther Planas at Five Years . Esther Planas ongoing project Escuela de Calor , finds its translation and dialogue with the idea of an English Summer Camp , the luxuriating vegetation of this times the prolonged northern day lights and the monsoon quality of its clima . A Tent will be ready for holding conversation and enjoying slow time and increased perception of sounds , ambience and feelings . Guest artist Nicola Woodham who's practice on aural and sound works gives a particular attention to the female voice , proposes to enter the magical space of the Attic Hellenist calendar,as July is the first month (Hekatombaión) of the New Year cycle and to explore the traditions of Amazonian Vegetalismo and the myth of Echo.
