back to news index ..... New Contemporary Art event for Tatton Park The Tatton Park Biennial 2008 will form part of the exciting list of events being planned for Cheshire's Year of Gardens' 08 and will be staged from May to September 2008. Supported by the Arts Council England, Cheshire County Council and The Northwest Development Agency (NWDA), the Biennial will be curated by Danielle Arnaud and Jordan Kaplan from commissioning group Parabola. The theme will be Botanical Collections and Collectors and there will be 30 new commissions from artists, performers and writers including Gayle Chong Kwan, David Cotterrell, Jo Coupe and Simon Pope. The new works will be created in response to Tatton Park’s gardens investigating the legacy of collections, collectors and the designed landscape amid current issues of climate change and globalisation.
The Biennial will support the work of emerging and mid-career artists through a commissioning process that reveals the history of the Park and is a launch pad for future events that will further understanding of exceptional artistic practice within the laboratory of this National Trust property. There will be six semi-permanent works, 12 evolving commissions and a substantial programme of tours, performances and talks. The Biennial will reflect the historical significance and contemporary relevance of Tatton Park.
