Outlandia is an off-grid artists' fieldstation, a treehouse
imagined by artists London Fieldworks (Bruce Gilchrist & Jo
Joelson) and designed by Malcolm Fraser Architects, situated in
Glen Nevis, opposite Ben Nevis. It is performative architecture
that immerses its occupants in a particular environment, provoking
creative interaction between artists and the land. This book
explores the relationship between place and forms of thought and
creative activity, relating Outlandia and the artists there to the
tradition of generative thinking and making structures that have
included Goethe's Gartenhaus in Weimar, Henry Thoreau's cabin at
Walden Pond and Dylan Thomas's writing shack in Laugharne. Based on
a series of residencies and radio broadcasts produced by London
Fieldworks in collaboration with Resonance 104.4fm, the Remote
Performances project enabled twenty invited artists to consider and
engage in transmissions, sound performances and dialogues on their
artmaking strategies immersed in this specific rural environment of
mountain, forest and river; flora and fauna. Some artists engaged
in dialogue with people living and working in the area with a range
of specialisms and experience in, for examples, forestry, mountain
culture, wildlife, tourism, and local history. This book explores
the ways in which being in the field impacts on artists and
permeates through to the artworks they create. It considers the
relationship between geography and contemporary art and artists'
use of maps and fieldwork. It charts these artists' explorations of
the ecological and cultural value of the natural environment,
questioning our perceptions and relationships to landscape, climate
and their changes. The book is an inspiring collection of ways to
think differently about our relationship with the changing natural
environment. The book includes essays by Jo Joelson, Francis McKee,
Tracey Warr and Bruce Gilchrist, and texts, images and drawings by
the artists: Bram Thomas Arn

practitioners who work with light, as material or subject, from

environment, together with curators, producers and other experts.
Structured around twenty-five interviews and four thematic essays -
