[dis]place, an artist residency at The Vestibules, Bristol
|
September 5th -29th 2017
|
A group of 14 Synecdoche artists spent 4 weeks in residence at The Vestibules, the two cavernous entrance halls at either end of City Hall on College Green in Bristol. We exhibited some of our work, developed ideas, collaborated, had many discussions together and engaged the public. Some people were there almost every day, some were only able to be there for a few days but we were all exploring ideas around what it means to be displaced. Each day was different as different artists worked together and sometimes we worked alone.
Some of the artists explored ways to respond to the spaces, some set up installations, some created participatory artworks and some did a series of collaborative drawings. Others stitched, drew, painted, collaged, sculpted or took photos. We all talked to the public.
The artists were: Maura Zukina, Chris Watkins, Clare Thatcher, Miranda Story, Soraya Schofield, Francis Martin, Rosie McLay, Ann Kelson, Alice Jennings, Veronia Gayle, Prerna Chandiramani, Gina Baum, Lou Baker, Margaret Anstee
