Residual, a show of contemporary art at South Hill Park in Bracknell
Residual was a site-specific contemporary art show at South Hill Park in Bracknell by current MA Fine Art artists studying at University for the Creative Arts, Farnham. Curated by Andrea Gregson, Senior Lecturer in Fine Art, the show included a range of fine art media including drawing, painting, sculpture, print, ceramics, installation, film, digital media, photography and performance, sensitively responding to the buildings and gardens. The artworks expand upon themes responding to the residence as a former home, a public space and place of creativity, offering new and imaginative interpretations of the house, geographical location and its visiting audiences through time. The art on show is a form of residue, uncovering layers of thought, reflections upon a dynamic multi-functional space with complex layers of meaning and historical association. Residual presents an opportunity to encounter contemporary art throughout the buildings and garden areas, with artworks that embody multiple histories of objects, people and place, encompassing past and present narratives and speculative fictions.
