We were delighted to have artist Anne Harild in residence with grove in June. Anne explores the urban environment, the grids, structures and textures that make our towns and cities and shape the lives of those who live and work in them.
The residency at grove was a brilliant opportunity for me to work directly in response to the site, develop new ideas and test and try already existing methods in response the surroundings of grove and Bury St. Edmunds. I was initially very intrigued by the ruins of the Abbey and how they have disintegrated over time. Simultaneously, I worked in response to the building site that is slowly developing in parts of the garden at grove, exploring how what had been left to grow wild is now being re-shaped. It was really great to have a concentrated period of time where I didn’t need to think about anything but making work, I think my practice benefitted immensely from having the time, space and support to experiment.
Work emerging from her week on site can be seen in projects.
This year grove has also forged a partnership with County Upper School in Bury St Edmunds, whereby students and staff have access to the artists we work with, and there was a curated exhibition of student work at grove in July. Details and work can be seen in county@grove. This development is supported by a grant from Councillor Mark Ereira's Suffolk County Council's Locality Budget.
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.
