Various Locations
Across Dundee
NEoN is bringing the Travelling Gallery to town, Day of Access exhibition will pop up in various locations across the city.
Travelling Gallery is delighted to be working with Alec Finlay to support Day of Access, a powerful campaign which encourages estates to open their land to allow access for people affected by disability. By using hill tracks and four-wheel drives, people who have never been able to immerse themselves in wild nature are driven into the heart Scotland’s beautiful wild landscape.
The Day of Access campaign passionately believes that everyone should have the opportunity to experience wild nature. Travelling Gallery will act as the campaign bus touring Day of Access across Scotland; presenting information and artworks and allowing a space for discussions. Documentation from the pilot Day of Access, including work by young photographer Sam McDiarmid, will be exhibited in an art installation created by Finlay.
The themes of disability, access and ecological remediation are explored in Finlay’s poems and artwork. Pages from books exploring illness, pain, walking and healing, including A View from the Front Line by Maggie Keswick Jencks, are used as paper for thoughtful drawings and commanding words “THERE CAN NEVER BE AN EXCESS OF ACCESS”.
Alongside his own work Alec has invited other artists and poets to exhibit including Hannah Devereaux, Alison Lloyd, Ken Cockburn and Mhairi Law; each bringing their own creativity and experience to the project. The work is collaboratively displayed like a scrap book or diary pinned on a garden trellis, alongside other domestic apparatus and soft furnishings, such as blankets, a clothes horse, and hankies.
About the Artist:
Alec Finlay (Scotland, 1966) is an internationally-recognised artist and poet whose work crosses over a range of media and forms. Much of Finlay’s work considers how we as a culture, or cultures, relate to landscape and ecology. Through permanent and temporary interventions, integrative web-based projects, and publications, Finlay weaves together generous experiential works, often collaborative, sometimes mapped directly onto the landscape, embedded socially or accessed online. Recently Finlay’s work has focussed on place-awareness and ecopoetics.

Detail of the disabled access areas labelling on the new class 700 units, seen on 700109 leaving East Croydon on a test run. Stations along the route have had signs installed to ensure that the disabled access areas of the trains (more or less in the centre) are at the same spot at each platform, aiding the speedy assistance from staff as required. This is important so that eight car units stop at the right place to reflect where the 12 car units' disabled access doors are located.

Stone Circle Access visits take place outside the normal opening times at Stonehenge, and are very early in the morning or late in the evening, and are not offered during the normal opening times.
For those of you who have not visited this sacred site, we should mention that the complex is roped off. Visitors observe the stones from a distance and are not permitted within the temple complex. Our special access tours allow you to be amongst the stones. Your guide will bring to life its many myths, legends and rich and fascinating history.
We have arranged with English Heritage for you to experience a unique guided visit to this ancient sacred site - beyond the fences and after the crowds have gone home. Walk amongst the stones and experience the magical atmosphere within the inner circle.

St. Michael's square
Until the 18th century there was no place but only a crossroads of today paths Carbon market-St. Michael's wing thoroughfare and Street of the Lords-Riding school alley. The first one was in the Roman period and even in the Middle Ages only an access road only reaching up to the crossing center (from Peiler gate over the Carbon market), which was after the expansion of the city in the late 12th century continued to the new Widmer gate (afterwards Castle gate) and now lay within the new curtain wall (the beginning of the trade route via the Mariahilf and Linz street towards west; west of the Carbon market arose the suburb At the Long Wall with Wallner street as an axis), the latter during the Roman period a portion of the Limes road. In the first half of the 13th century was founded (as the second parish church next to St. Stephan), the St. Michael's Church; the at the same time laid out Michaelerfreithof (cemetery) lay at the corner of Carbon market-Riding school alley; the other corners were formed by townhouses. In the last third of the 15th century the houses on the corner Riding school alley with (today's passage) through the St. Michael's wing were purchased by the Prince Regnant, on this area arose in the early 16th century as part of the Hofburg the imperial Lustgarten (later called Paradeisgarten - Paradise garden), which is already listed on Wolmuets map (1547). The conversion of the intersection into a square began with the construction of the Winter Riding School on the grounds of "Paradeisgartels - Paradise garden" (1729-1735), the Chancellery tract with the torso of the St. Michael's tract of the Hofburg (1723-30; inclusion of some opposite houses, construction then suspended and only at the end of the 19th century completed) and the Small St. Michael's house (1732-33) on a part of the abandoned cemetery (the "corners" of these buildings being withdrawn semicircularly or diagonally so that the square formation was made possible). The evolving itself from an older Ballhaus/Ballspielhaus (a building for playing ball games) old Burgtheater in the semicircle of the unfinished Michaeler tract of the Hofburg (from 1776 German National Theatre) gave the place a new emphasis. 1766 finds the label "Michaeler Platzl (the small one)", 1795 Michaelerplatz and 1848 (during the revolution) in the short term "Constitution Square". With the completion of the St. Michael's tract (1889-1893) which the old Hofburg Theater as well as some houses of leading over today's Place West line of the Carbon market (which had extended until over Schaufler alley) fell victim to the construction of the Herberstein Palace (1897) and the Loos house (1910), whose construction lines also had been retracted, the Michaelerplatz obtained its present appearance.

Number 5: St. Michael's church
Number 6: Small St. Michael's house
Michaelerplatz (1).
Bis ins 18. Jahrhundert gab es hier keinen Platz, sondern nur eine Straßenkreuzung der heutigen Trassen Kohlmarkt-Michaelertraktdurchfahrt und Herrengasse-Reitschulgasse. Erstere war in der Römerzeit und noch im Hochmittelalter eine nur bis zur Kreuzungsmitte reichende Zubringerstraße (vom Peilertor über den Kohlmarkt), die nach der Stadterweiterung am Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts bis zum neuen Widmertor (nachmals Burgtor) fortgesetzt wurde und nun innerhalb der neuen Ringmauer lag (Beginn der Fernhandelsstraße über die Mariahilfer und Linzer Straße nach Westen; westlich des Kohlmarkts entstand die Vorstadt An der langen Mauer mit der Wallnerstraße als Achse), letztere zur Römerzeit ein Teilstück der Limesstraße. In der ersten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts wurde (als zweite Stadtpfarrkirche neben St. Stephan) die Michaelerkirche gegründet; der zur gleichen Zeit angelegte Michaelerfreithof lag an der Ecke Kohlmarkt-Reitschulgasse; die anderen Ecken wurden durch Bürgerhäuser gebildet. Im letzten Drittel des 15. Jahrhunderts wurden die Häuser an der Ecke der Reitschulgasse mit der (heutigen) Durchfahrt durch den Michaelertrakt vom Landesfürsten käuflich erworben; auf diesem Areal entstand im frühen 16. Jahrhundert als Teil der Hofburg der kaiserliche Lustgarten (später Paradeisgarten genannt), der bereits auf Wolmuets Stadtplan (1547) verzeichnet ist. Die Wandlung der Kreuzung in einen Platz begann mit der Erbauung der Winterreitschule auf dem Areal des "Paradeisgartels" (1729-1735), des Reichskanzleitrakts mit dem Torso des Michaelertrakts der Hofburg (1723-30; Einbeziehung einiger gegenüberliegender Häuser; Bau dann eingestellt und erst am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts vollendet) und des Kleinen Michaelerhauses (1732-33) auf einem Teil des aufgehobenen Friedhofs (wobei die "Ecken" dieser Gebäude halbkreisförmig beziehungsweise schräg zurückgenommen wurden, sodass die Platzbildung ermöglicht wurde). Das sich aus einem älteren Ballhaus entwickelte (alte) Burgtheater im Halbrund des unfertigen Michaelertrakts der Hofburg (ab 1776 Deutsches Nationaltheater) gab dem Platz einen neuen Akzent. 1766 findet sich die Bezeichnung "Michaelerplatzl", 1795 Michaelerplatz und 1848 (während der Revolution) kurzfristig "Constitutionsplatz". Mit der Vollendung des Michaelertrakts (1889-1893), dem das alte Hofburgtheater sowie einige Häuser der bis über den heutigen Platz führenden Westzeile des Kohlmarkts (die sich bis über die Schauflergasse hingezogen hatte) zum Opfer fielen, dem Bau des Herbersteinpalais (1897) und des Looshauses (1910), deren Baulinien ebenfalls zurückgenommen wurden, erhielt der Michaelerplatz seine heutige Gestalt.

It wouldn't be a road trip without something going wrong I guess. 3 years ago we traveled Route 66 from Chicago to L.A. and managed to get our car-towed (suitcases, passports and all!) in Los Angeles so we were up for some sort of problem.
We wouldn't have predicted this though.
The record high temperatures had set the snow in the mountains melting like mad which then caused a mudslide right across the Trans-Canadian Highway 1 - our route to Lake Louise.
We couldn't get any further than this so we had no option but to hang out around Revelstoke and wait to see if they managed to clear the mudslide. It was the Victoria Day weekend so everyone was off work on the Monday so it was sooooo busy. We knew this would work in our favour for them to get the road open as quick as they could.
At one point we were gearing ourselves up for waking up in Revelstoke on our First Wedding Anniversary. Nothing against Revelstoke, it's a sweet place, but when you have a room booked at Lake Louise....well, I don't need to explain any further.

This is my shadow as I am knee deep in snow looking to open the boiler room door after our big blizzard in Minneapolis, the bottom of the door is two feet off the ground, so this drift is at least three feet high, the roof is full of them, making the simple task of going to the boiler room a challenging one.
