KEILDER: ON SITE / OFF SITE is a collaborative project initiated by Newcastle University’s Fine Art Department and The Keilder Partnership, which commenced in summer 2015. The ambitious year-long project set out with the aim of practically exploring the opportunities of the unique environment of Kielder Forest for visual art. The project will culminate in the creation of a group of semi-temporary works created by staff and students to be sited in the forest and Keilder Observatory (launching 17/06/16).
OFF SITE is an exhibition of work created by participants of the project.
It is housed in the Ex-Libris Gallery opening a month before ON SITE launches in Keilder Forest and Water Park.
The exhibition provides an insight into the working methodologies of the artists involved and serves as a space to critically question the notion and importance of location, scale and collaboration whilst working both in and outside the conventional gallery setting.
The exhibition contains a variety of works spanning from different stages of the project, from conceptual and technical drawings right through to finished works yet to be installed on location.
Some artists have used the opportunity to create a new work linked to their work to be sited at Kielder, but specifically for the gallery context.
A temporary and short exhibition run has lent itself to creating works on site which suggest at the possible outcomes of some of the projects involved.
Participating Artists:
Mirela Bistran / Rochus Braun / Simon Court / Sarah Grundy / Anthony Hensman / Oliver Hoffmeister & Harry Pickup / Eve Kossmann / JJ Lloyd / Helen Shaddock & Pipi-Lovell Smith / Leina Taylor
