LAND is a bold and expansive group exhibition showcasing the work of 27 contemporary artists, each engaging with the dynamic and often complex relationship between humans and the natural world. From the reflective to the humorous, from optimism to confrontation, LAND offers a powerful artistic response to the environment through an array of innovative practices.
Curated by Clare Palmier, Director of The Art Station, this multi-site exhibition features a rich mix of media including painting, drawing, video, installation, sound and performance displayed across three unique venues in Suffolk as well as The Old Bank Riverside Garden.
Susan Barnet is exhibiting video documentation of her Tractor Duet – A Land Drawing, a project created as part of Free Range, an art residency at Letheringham Lodge, a medieval moated hunting lodge near Wickham Market, Suffolk. The project presents mark making on a large scale, using a tractor to 'draw' onto the surface of the terrain. This is made visible through drone photography and video and sound recording. The process of drawing was choreographed for two performers, one driving a tractor and one walking, both moving in unison and diverging with each other.
