Rural Idyll 2
'Rural Idyll 2,' Little Dodnash Farm, Bentley, Ipswich IP9 2DQ
Opens: Sunday 5th June 11am-4pm
Week ends: June 11/12 18/19 25/26
Location:
A small Suffolk sheep farm in 'Constable Country', a one hour train
ride from Liverpool Street station, London. A group of rustic barns
surrounded by pastures grazed by sheep and through which a tributary
of the river Wen runs. Also a lily pond which was originally fished
by monks in the 13th century which lies beside the remains of a
flint wall once forming part of a small priory. A 5 acre area of
woodland made up mainly of sweet chestnut trees and bluebells in
the spring completes the property.
Work is made in response to or that provoked by the space, location,
aesthetics, communities or traditions of rural life. Through the
work it is hoped to add to the debate about the relevance of contemporary
art in rural life and offer a platform for rural life and its issues.
