Spring Green 2009: New Growth exhibition, 2009
The Architecture Centre Bristol
The Architecture Centre and Groundwork South West, with the support
of Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, have commissioned four artists
to respond to the Spring Green 2009 theme of urban green space
and green infrastructure. The artists in the Spring Green exhibition
will consider the biodiversity of Brownfield sites, green corridors,
foraging, the impact of housing growth on the rural/urban fringe
and community responses to urban green space. The artists Rebecca
Beinart, Jenna Collins, John Dummett and Andrew Dodds all
engage with both the natural and the designed/built environment,
and through their differing interests and practice, offer us varied
perspectives on the Spring Green themes. Working in a variety
of media, producing temporary work, they will use different locations
in and around Bristol, with The Architecture Centre’s gallery
acting as project hub, to provoke debate and audience interaction.
Contemporary archaeologist James Dixon will engage with the artists
and the Spring Green themes during the course of the exhibition.
