Droppers as part of Weather Station (Part II), b-side festival 2016, Portland, Dorset, UK – 10-18 September 2016

Weather Station - A giant inflatable ball becomes the Weather Station, a mobile pavilion for the collection of images, objects and ideas. An artist-led response to the changing relationship we have with landscape and the paradox of being both in and of the natural world. Cumulative rather than collaborative, the structure passes from one artist to the next, gathering traces of its journey through the beautiful and broken landscapes of South West England, before returning to it’s plinth for exhibition.

Weather Station (Part II) exhibition will bring together work by artists Laurie Lax, Laura Hopes, Elaine Fisher, James Hankey, Nicola Kerslake, Phil Smith, Stair/Slide/Space, Jethro Brice, Simon Lee Dicker and Alexander Stevenson + special guests Andy Webster & Darren Ray. Project partners include b-side (Dorset), Backlane West (Cornwall), Exeter Phoenix (Devon), Hand in Glove (Bristol), Plymouth Art Centre (Devon), and Hestercombe Gallery (Somerset).
