Artist Irene Pérez Hernández worked with grove 22 - 28 September 2019; I had a very good experience and productive time at grove. Definitely it has been a very inspiring place for my work and I am happy with the results. Thank you.  Her work integrates film, sculpture and performance, often to explore the ways in which enduring geometric forms and sets of relations are expressed in different contexts. Go to Projects to see her work in response to the abbey and townscape in Bury St Edmunds and for further information visit her website. 

Last summer grove launched a new inclusive art project, groving,  with Acts of Resistance.  Artworks were placed daily on the streets and in public places in Bury St Edmunds.  Artworks were accompanied by a new written work by a poet or author on the grove blog. 

Artist Julia Manheim worked with grove in July 2019 and details of her work and ideas that emerged through the residency can be seen in ​Projects. Julia reflects on her time with grove: 

grove is a flexible, supportive opportunity for artists to concentrate on making new work  and test ideas. The purpose is to enable artists to concentrate for a short period on developing or trialing  work, with the use of a large garden, project space and digital equipment. Artists are invited to work with grove and are provided with accommodation, working space, promotion and an event. Hosted artists are not asked to necesssarily complete work or to mount an exhibition. Emerging ideas and proposals for work can be tested and shared with an invited audience in any way appropriate. The project space is particularly suitable for immersive installation, film and sound. Follow grove @grove_projects.

grove is curated by artist and curator Barbara Dougan and situated at 1 Grove Road, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 3BE.
