Ground Works will be welcoming artists and writers whose inspiration and concern is for our landscape and environment.

The exhibition and events aim to examine our collective response to landscape and place, how we react to exterior spaces and the impact of our changing environment. Through engagement with various art media, practises and approaches, we wish to encourage discussion and observation between artists and community.

Curated by Kel Portman of ‘Walking the Land’ & Lizzi Walton.

Landlinks

The unattached landscape. ‘Landlinks’ represent work made by over 20 walking artists, international and national, and was synchronised to take place over several continents.

Artists responded to a ‘time/distance walking script’ - adhering to various ‘prompts’ that governed their progress and choices, forcing them to let go of the desire to find the definitive subject and to leave that choice to chance.
