See us at JRH

Where does the "Encounters at Wheatley"-show go? We spent months in preparing this exciting contemporary sculpture event and opened it for 4 hours only. 600 people came. But whoever did not see it: a documentation of the event will be exhibited at the Link Gallery in the John Radcliffe Hospital. Open for everybody (you don't have to feel sick), and also open every day round the clock. It is best accessible via car park 1. The show "Encounters at John Radcliffe Hospital" will open this weekend.

Thanks to all

Thanks to the ten artists, the 600 visitors, the splendid support crew, the musicians on Sunday, and last but not least the sun who stayed until 6pm. At 6.05 the rain came with a bang.

Lock up in Wheatley

 

This is James Winnett's proposal for the Wheatley Show: a large temporary hexagonal pyramid sculpture. He was inspired by Wheatley's village lock-up, built in 1834.

This mini prison can be found near the edge of the old quarry site. It has a heavy padlocked door and the floor space is about six feet square with a headroom of about eight feet. In the 19th century it was used to lock up drunks overnight before sending them to the Oxford court. More recently it has been opened every May Day. For a small charge visitors can be locked up for five minutes or so, and given a certificate to prove it.

Under the Mulberry Tree

Three weeks left until the opening of "Encounters". Ellie Reid is taking the measurements for her installation under the Mulberry Tree. It will be a construction of wooden colored panels. This might not sound very interesting to you. But have a look at the work that Ellie does and this will change you mind.

Packing Mementos

We are now preparing the garden event in Wheatley. Michi Suzuki is wrapping her ceramic sculptures "Fallen Memento" to be picked up for the show: large natural forms, a soft white - they will look great at Wheatley.

They are larger and heavier (up to 30kg!) than I imagined. But still time left to build up muscles to lift them.
