Dreamspace (2016)

Part of Jerwood Open Forest Exhibition (2016): Jerwood Space London, Nov 2nd - Dec 11th, 2016, Magz Hall Dream Space was installed with Forest Radio Callsigns, Jerwood Charitable Foundation and Forestry Commission. http://jerwoodopenforest.org/<br />This group exhibition brings together work by the five artists selected for the R&D stage of Jerwood Open Forest in 2016: Rebecca Beinart, Magz Hall, Keith Harrison, David Rickard and David Turley. They have expanded on their original proposals to produce new bodies of work spanning installation, film, ceramics and performance. Whilst projects are diverse in terms of process and materials, they are united by themes such as loss, legacy and transformation.<br /><br />The five artists were selected from almost 500 diverse and ambitious proposals in response to an open call to UK-based artists within 15 years of beginning their practice. Artists were invited to submit bold, broad-thinking proposals that explored the potential of forests as a site for art. Each selected artist receives a £2,000 research and development fee to develop their commission proposals, test feasibility and explore potential sites within England’s Public Forest Estate.
