Lead artist Tania Kovats mentored 10 professional artists over almost one year, who were asked to create work in response to God’s Bridge, a limestone formation spanning the River Greta, high in the Pennines.
The artists were given complete creative freedom to devise a piece of work that would represent their experience of God’s Bridge.
This exhibition; godsbridgeX is the culmination of the project and displays the artists’ very different creative responses to the same place.
Siting these contemporary landscape pieces within The Bowes Museum’s permanent collection encourages the visitor to search for the artworks, very much as the artists had to seek out God’s Bridge.
The development of the project and the artists’ progression over the period were documented on video, which can be seen in The Bowes Museum’s foyer or go to www.artworksinteesdale.org
Join us for a talk by Tania Kovats, discussing her current practice and her role as mentor to the artists participating in The God’s Bridge Artists’ Project. Saturday April 12th 2.15 -3.30pm The Bowes Museum Jubilee Room 01833 690606 or email [email protected]
