Exploring Tatton
With one place artists in residence One place, four perspectives. The historic landscape of Tatton Park is inspiring diverse new work by its current oneplace artists in residence. oneplace is Tatton's ambitious landscape-based contemporary art programme, project managed by ARTS UK. Over the past three years, it has provided residencies to artists as celebrated and diverse as sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, film-maker Rob Vale, sculptor Helen Brigham and composer Christopher Mayo. The current artists, Samantha Donnelly, Lucie Potter and collaborators Sam Clayton and Mark Jacobs, have been working with materials as ephemeral as ice and through mediums as distinct as sound and sculpture. Their innovative new works explore what makes Tatton so special. The four artists will be sharing their unique residency experiences with evening talks at Tatton on 5th and 19th March. These offer a wonderful opportunity for the public to learn about their work and approaches to their residencies. Steve Chettle, oneplace Project Manager commented "this is an ideal opportunity for the artists to tell people about their work and how they are responding to Tatton Park, with its diversity of landscape, and subsequent diversity of the artists' responses. Having seen the project through from inception I am particularly pleased to see the high quality of work which the artists are producing about Tatton Park." Samantha Donnelly has taken inspiration from the autumn colour of the Japanese Garden and has focused on two central ideas: the comparison of permanent structures against the flux of nature; and the aperture as a picture frame for viewing idealised vistas. Amongst her pieces is a series of ice apertures, mirroring the motif of the circle found throughout the garden. She has also created a collection of Acer leaves frozen in plaster which were temporarily situated within the Japanese tea house. Lucie Potter is creating a sound walk, which will lead visitors around part of the parkland in the summer. Her field recording sessions have captured the wildlife and activity at Tatton during both day and night and have resulted in some late evenings and early risings!. She will talk about her site research for the route through the park and contextualise her research within the history of Tatton and the Egerton family. Sam Clayton and Mark Jacobs Sam Clayton and Mark Jacobs met at Sheffield Hallam University in the late 1990s, when studying for a B.A. (Hons) in Fine Art Sculpture. They have since established an artistic partnership, with their first new work being created for the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. They are at the beginnings of their residency at Tatton; their work will explore their shared interest in landscape, history, myth, follies and ruin. The oneplace programme culminates in a final exhibition, showing work from all artists in residence, from Saturday 19 July to Sunday 17 August. oneplace Talks Talks take place on Wednesday 5th March (Samantha Donnelly and Lucie Potter) and Wednesday 19th March (Sam Clayton and Mark Jacobs) in the Knutsford Room at Tatton Park. Tickets: £3 (£5 for both talks) and £2 concessions (£3 for both talks). Places bookable in advance from Tatton Park, tel: 01625 374454 or on door (subject to places being available). |
