What is progress? How do we relate to landscape? This exhibition brings together six artists: Rebecca Chesney, Simon Hitchens, Marie-Louise Jones, Hugo Lami, Madinah Farhannah Thompson and Mirte van Duppen, all of who make work inspired by these questions. Whether attempting to understand and present individual views of the world around us, history, change or using innovation and environmental ways to create art.
Five of the artists know Hestercombe, it’s buildings, collections and gardens, well. Four have previously been resident artists, absorbing themselves in the day-to-day routines of flora, fauna and human coexistence during the past three years, with the fifth returning to work made on-site eight years ago. The sixth artist presents an alternative hi-tech view of land usage from across the sea in The Netherlands.
