Paul Rooney's work frequently sits at the intersection of art and popular culture
- especially music. His band Rooney successfully negotiates the potentially
problematic terrain between art and pop have attained significant recognition
in both fields. For Artranspennine03 Rooney has createdan audio guide for a
field in Calderdale. His text, Let Me Take You There, weaves a densely
textured narrative through popular music and the wider culture as framed by
the field itself - the site of a photograph from the cover of Atmosphere
by Joy Division. Visitors are encouraged to download the text below and use
it as standard museum style audio guide for a site whose cultural significance
would otherwise be overlooked. Also available is a text version of the audio
guide in microsoft word format.
