In May 2008, five temporary art events by artists Alastair MacLennan, Maura Hazelden, Simon Whitehead, Anna Lucas and Yvonne Buchheim took place in Cardigan, west Wales, exploring themes of ritual, community and place. The project sought to examine the ways that artists can draw audiences into different, often unexpected experiences of place through ritual. The temporary, mobile and in some cases understated nature of the events meant that the impact was often subtle, but the artworks nonetheless created a ripple of effect for audiences, leading witnesses to wonder what they had just seen and to what extent they had knowingly or unknowingly participated in it.<\/p>\n

In practices that involve ritual pattern making, \u2018holy hiatus\u2019 refers to the crossing of the boundary between inner and outer consciousness. The purpose of such practices is to allow inner processes to manifest as outer design or forms \u2013 a method that has strong analogies with art-making. Holy Hiatus<\/strong> focused on social ritual, community and public places to explore threshold, or \u2018liminal\u2019 states and examine the ways that artists employ ‘performative interaction’ to engage audiences creatively with place.<\/p>\n
