Group Exhibition Weston Park, Shropshire 4 June - 3 September, 2017 I'm delighted to announce that I'm taking part in a group exhibition curated by Meadow Arts at Weston Park including work by Salvatore Arancio, Pablo Bronstein, David Bethell, Edward Chell, Ryan Gander, Jasleen Kaur, Helen Maurerm Helene Muheim, Heather & Ivan Morison and Julian Opie. As stated on their website: "Meadow Arts brings a vibrant programme of contemporary art to Weston Park for the first time. Renowned contemporary artists have been invited to explore Weston Park and its history, responding to ‘Capability’ Brown’s grand landscape and James Paine’s architecture with newly commissioned work and a group exhibition. In this corner of the West Midlands, two radically different visions of man-made landscapes collide: on the one hand, the idealised landscaped garden magnificently expressed at Weston, on the other, the emerging industrial landscape. Synthetic Landscapes takes place across two venues, investigating these different ideas; at Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery artist David Bethell examines the birth of the industrial landscape. Meadow Arts bring unique contemporary art projects to places where art is not usually shown, supporting artists by commissioning new work and creating inspiring events and exhibitions for new audiences."
