Episode 2 of my creative conversation sees me concluding my chat with Hannah Sofaer and Paul Crabtree from the Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust. On this show we talk about some of the fantastic exhibitions that went on at the Drill Hall over 2012.
The program – Stone Island Stone is Land – brought together art from many different disciplines and was part of Inspire mark London 2012.
We talk about the exhibitions they held, how they came about and their involvement in staging these exhibitions and putting this program together.
I was interested in the long term connections a few of the artists had with the trust. About this ongoing commitment. As artists like Mark Dunhill (whose conversation is the feature of my next show) and Jim Cooke associations with the trust stretches back many years, and whose involvement form part of the trusts ongoing dialog, which than helps inform their strategic decisions.
We go onto to talk about the next stage of the trust. Where Hannah feels it is all coming together at the right time at the right place.
Finishing up with Hannah talking about the rewarding aspect she has found in her connection with local people, with the quarryman who have worked the landscape.
