Dimensions: 29.7 x 21.0 x 1.0

This limited edition 110 page full colour catalogue that explores the legacy of the first six exhibitions at the Elephant and Castle Recreational Grounds project space between 2018-2019. Devised by Fiona Grady, Anna Lytridou and Tim Ralston.

 

The publication includes an introduction by the curators, with essays by Eric Thorp and DATEAGLE ART. Designed by Carolina Festa and printed in the UK.

 

Recreational Grounds is situated in a redundant ground floor car park at Wendover House on the Aylesbury Estate; the space is a playground for intervention. The project encourages ephemeral approaches which react to the restrictions of the brief: to create outdoor site-responsive work for the 48 hour exhibition. The nature of temporary artwork in a public space demands creative approaches to making and installing, and it is this challenge, along with the unique space, that inspires the proposal.

 

The catalogue features work by over 40 contributing artists:

Henrietta Armstong, Louise Ashcroft, Mike Ballard, Verity Birt, Angela Brandys, Jack Brown, Paul Cole, Deconstructie (Erris Huigens), Dori Deng, Magda Drwiega, Lucas Dupuy, Howard Dyke, Peter Evans, Rosie Gibbens, Fiona Grady, Athene Greig, Ziggy Grudzinskas, Alice Hartley, Julie F Hill, Nicky Hirst, Ralph Hunter Menzies, Marco Miehling, Norman Hyams, Anna Lytridou, Oliver Martyn, Benjamin McDonnell, Patrick Mifsud, Amanda Mostròˆm, Maria Teresa Ortoleva, Gabriela Pelczarska, Henrik Potter, Helena De Pulford, Tim Ralston, Tom Rapsey, Kes Richardson, Nana Sawada, Tom Sewell, Alexis Zelda Stevens, Michael Wall, Poppy Whatmore, Alice Wilson, Jim Woodall, K.
