A debate on sustainable development and contemporary art in the rural environment.
Conference. Three teams comprising an artist, architect and engineer have been collaborating to develop proposals for temporary live/work studio spaces at three sites in the New Forest. The project will offer opportunities for debate on sustainable development and contemporary art in the rural environment. The exhibition offers an opportunity to see the work to date, hear the teams talk about their proposals and join in a discussion around the issues raised. Project Teams: the artists involved all have experience and understanding of working in sensitive environments, the architects and engineers are all locally based practices with a commitment to sustainable design. 3 Teams: 1) Artist: Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva, Architect: Paul Bulkeley, Engineer: Trevor Thickett. 2) Artist: Hywel Davies, Engineer: Nick Gradidge, Architect: Carl Leroy-Smith. 3) Artist: Stephen Turner, Engineer: Michael Dorgan, Architect: Graham Perring.
