EspañolGRIZEDALE ARTS
'Grizedale Arts' is a contemporary arts residency and commissioning agency in the central Lake District in rural Northern England. It conducts cultural projects locally, nationally and internationally. Its focus under director Adam Sutherland is on emerging artists and increasing public access to the contemporary arts.[1]
Its residency programme is financially supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.[2]
The predecessor of Grizedale Arts, the Grizedale Society was founded in 1968 by the Forestry Commission to further the arts and forestry. It concentrated on theatre and the visual arts. In 1977 it established the Sculpture Project which was noted for its siting of environmental sculptures by artists including David Nash and Andy Goldsworthy within the Grizedale Forest.[3] These sculptures are now maintained by the Forestry Commission and are accessible to the public.[4] In 1990 the Society was awarded the Prudential Award for the Arts.[5] In 1999 the board closed its theatre (the "Theatre in the Forest") and decided to concentrate on exploring new approaches to artistic production and exhibition.
Grizedale Arts' collaborative projects have included:
★ The Festival of Lying (2000)
★ ''Romantic Detachment'' (2004) at the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York
★ ''Seven Samurai'' (2006) within the Japanese Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial.
★ A Public Art Strategy for Egremont.[1] (2006)
Artists who have been involved with the Grizedale Arts programme include Anna Best, Jordan Baseman, David Blandy, Marcus Coates, Karen Guthrie & Nina Pope, Lorrice Douglas, Juneau/projects, Kerry Stewart, Matt Stokes, Nathaniel Mellors, Bedwyr Williams, Tim Olden, Olaf Breuning & Barnaby Hosking.
