Cross Country : An exploration into Rural Public Space 20 March - 27 April

Public works’ structure/story-room travelled to Wysing from its temporary location in a field in Bourn to occupy the gallery space from 20 March onwards. The structure joined other works by artists N55 and Jose Arnaud who recently undertook residencies working with a group of people of Traveller origin in the area. N55's Manual for a Walking House will be distributed during the exhibition meanwhile the artists are developing a life-size Walking House with BRE (The Building Research Establishment) in Watford - look out for this later in the year.

Jose Arnaud’s photographs of local Traveller sites that have recently been closed are poignant reminders of a fragile community now dispersed. Also, Wapke Feenstra of collective myvillages.org will contribute their Bibliobox to the exhibition. The Bibliobox is a travelling archive of rural art practice.

ART TROLLEY - FREE drawing materials and an Activity Handout were available for families free of charge during the Easter holidays and at weekends throughout the gallery exhibition.
