Grizedale celebrates fifteen years, with a major survey across Cumbria in partnership with the Lakeland Arts Trust from Kendal, through Blackwell in Windemere to the Coniston Institute.

Part 1: The Nuisance of Landscape - Grizedale the Sequel (this might go on a bit)Abbott Hall Art Gallery 10 October – 20 December
A new sense of what a general nuisance landscape really is, the exhibition covers the history of Grizedale as it emerged from the dark woods from 1999 to the present - from confrontational attempts to be honest about the place to attempts to be honest about our confrontation. The exhibition tells the story of the programme and illustrates the changing attitude to where we live. It also tells a bigger story of change in art and artists over the past decade. All the hits and misses under one roof: forest confrontation, cultural car crash and hug a local, plus an artist’s film survey thrown in. Feeling that was not enough, enough is never enough, we have also on the dias in front of Abbot Hall (bearing down on the Barbara Hepworth) the UK premier of Anchorhold. Marcus Coates will be offering one to one advice (From 8th Nov - alongside Kendal’s Deputy Mayor and many others).
