"Call and Response" at The Sculpture Park

Autumn: Call and Response   17^th March – 10^th June 2012

 Our next exhibition, call and response, curated by Kim Paton, will present works from emerging artists who must wrestle with the inherent challenges of the site, including the scale and natural beauty of the landscape. Kim has accepted proposals that demonstrate engagement with the physical and historical environment of the site as well as wider environmental issues. The exhibition will include various forms of work including sculpture, installation, ephemeral, performance and conceptual.

 Participating artists had the opportunity to apply for the Ebbett Prestige Environmental Art Award.  This year the funding provided will assist the following emerging artists to prepare their work for this exhibition.  The winners of the six awards are:

• Amber Pearson
• Laura Marsh
• Nik Blackburn
• Taarati Taiaroa
• Timothy Chapman
• Veronica Herber

 Come along and vote for your favourite work – the winning artist receives the Calder & Lawson People’s Choice Award when the votes are counted in June.
