The Foundation is pleased to announce that our current artist in residence, Julian Claxton, has secured a place in Cumbria's forthcoming FRED Festival. The Festival takes place at locations all over Cumbria from 1st - 10th October (more information available from the Fold gallery at www.foldgallery.co.uk or the festival site www.fredsblog.com) For the festival, Julian will be re-enacting the famous 1964 'Solway spaceman' incident when a local fireman found an anomolous space suited alien figure on a family snap. Widely considered to be a hoax, Julian will restage the incident using period materials and equipment adopting a variety of hoax strategies that have been put to him by national and international ufo experts, the local press and local people. This will take place on 9 October on Burgh Marshes near Carlisle. Julian's current exhibition (documentation of the activities of the Hotwells UFO Watchers Association) has been extended for a further month (to the end of September). This is being shown at the pub where the Group meets - the Plume of Feathers, Hotwells Road before touring to Sheffield, liverpool and London. The next artist in residence, Kuunte Howell is due to arrive in November. The Foundation is now seeking proposals for the next residency (due to run from March 2005). Initial expressions of interest with CV and 12 slides/jpegs should be sent to us at the Psychic Research Foundation, Space 75, Spike Island 133 Cumberland Road, Bristol BS1 6UX or via the above e-mail address.
