Workshops

Ideas that are central to the Groundwork programme were gathered through conversations with artists and curators at residential workshops held at Kestle Barton on the Lizard peninsula since 2011.

Led by artists Mark Dion (2011), Simon Starling and Hamish Fulton (2013), Ben Rivers (March 2016) and Ruth Ewan (October 2016), some have been organised through an open call and selection, and some have been more informal – providing an arena for open discussion and development of ideas. The Groundwork programme of workshops concluded in October 2017 with the Cornwall Workshop, led by artist Christina Mackie.
