This September artist Alban Low and writer and poet Kevin Acott worked with grove. Details about their work can be found in Artists and their specific approach to their week in residence is posted in Projects .
To cast aside all my domestic chores and concentrate fully on art was something the we've needed for a long time. Each day we built upon the ideas of the day before, whipping ourselves into a fervour of creativity. Who could have predicted that we would have finished the week by creating imaginary album covers and writing those wicked songs. I think it is entirely in the spirit of your generosity that we also opened up the exhibition to the people of Bury St Edmunds, and that they played along with our creative antics.
Work from grove will be performed at Rich Mix in London on 10 November.
Work by the previous artist, Steve Perfect, in residence in July, can be seen here.
In September 2017 grove curator and artist Barbara Dougan worked on site, continuing a series of explorations of the grove site by the last three resident artists. Two films and an interactive structure were installed for a public event on 23 September, see work in Projects. Visitors responded:
Thoughtful, reflective work on the meaning of places and objects. Highly poignant.
A great presentation of work. Really professional and evocative work, rich with ideas and poetry.
I have so enjoyed each of the works shown today but particularly the film capturing the loss of your extended garden. Beautifully sensitive and full of a relationship with a space, replete with layered memory. Gently moving.
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.
