24-hour residency - Cotley

Gabrielle Hoad  | Cotley Copse | 2017

I'm working with a loose affiliation of diverse artists from Devon and Somerset to present new and experimental work on the Cotley Estate over three days as part of Somerset Art Works 2017.

Our 24-hour residency on the 25th and 26th of August was an opportunity to eat, drink, talk and make art together as well as carry out essential planning for the forthcoming three-day exhibition and after-dark event/opening party.

The exhibition will feature new work responding to the Cotley estate, its environment and history. Artists include Alice Crane | Andre Wallace | Gabrielle Hoad | Gordon Field | Jon England | Liz Gregory | Lucia Harley | Megan Calver | Mich Downing | Michael Calver | Nicola Kerslake | Paul Newman | Simon Lee Dicker | Tim Martin

Friday 6th to Sunday 8th October 2017
Venue 92, Cotley Farm, Wambrook, Chard, Somerset TA20 3EP
