‘Artists in Residence’ is a collaborative Arts Council funded project between four Dorking based artists, Mole Valley District Council and Jonathan Parsons from ARC. The artists Ackroyd & Harvey, Anne Brodie and Amanda Loomes have have lived in Dorking for over a hundred years between them, yet have never exhibited together in their hometown.
‘Artists in Residence Project’ will challenge the artists to make a new body of work in response to their hometown whilst considering the implications of a long-term residency with regard to habit and habitat. At a time when our culture is in the process of realising the value of local sustainability, the project questions what local means to these artists.
Mole Valley District Council will be working with the artists to transform a vacant shop unit in St Martins Walk Shopping Centre, Dorking into a temporary gallery to be launched during the Mole Valley Arts Alive Festival (1 - 31 October 2010). A series of talks in conjunction with Jonathan Parsons (ARC) and Mark Segal (Artsway),will be held during the exhibition.
Talks Saturday 2 October, 7.00pm – 8.30pm: talk (Ackroyd & Harvey and guest) Saturday 9 October, 7.00pm – 8.00pm: talk (Jonathan Parsons in conversation with the artists) Thursday 14 October, 7.00pm – 8.00pm: talk (Anne Brodie and Amanda Loomes with Mark Segal, Director of ArtSway)
Anne Brodie’sSloe Chandelier uses laboratory glass, and a medical pump, and could be mistaken as a scientific experiment. Inspired by her experience of living in an isolated community in Antarctica (as part of a British Antarctic Survey and Arts Council Fellowship), Brodie viewed a community of people from within, as if a disconnected cell seen close up on a laboratory slide. Living in Dorking, a busy satellite town, the community has its own identity, connected to the rest of the world, no longer an isolated cell but very much part of the whole organism. Sloe Chandelier suggests the recurrent, relentless cyclical nature common to all living things and all communities - the difficulties, the mistakes, and sometimes the pointlessness. The sloe gin is made from the blackthorn bushes growing on Ranmore. Brodie references a recent report showing Mole Valley to have the 6th highest rate of hazardous drinking in England. Jelly Box, isBrodie’s personal response to a period of ill health where she found respite working on a shared allotment in Coldharbour Lane.

Experiments is the first in a series of exhibitions curated by Artakt and GV Art, that brings together the work of fiveartists whose practice develops with close and productive collaborations with scientists. Alongside the artists’ work, scientists are invited to present a ‘piece’ or ‘object’ of their choice that relates to the artwork punctuating and bringing insight to the collaboration. Experiments is instigated by Marina Wallace, one of the curators of internationally acclaimed exhibitions, Spectacular Bodies: Art and Science of the Human Body from Leonardo to Now and Seduced: Art and Sex from Antiquity to Now.

The Verbeke Foundation organises an exhibition on actual and fictitious polar expeditions from Januari 16th 2010 to May 15th 2010.
The exhibition also probes for the motives of artists who head for the North and South Poles: out of a fascination for the unknown, a desire to exploit new terrains for their art, an ecological conviction or a romantic sense of adventure?
The historic archives of the Belgian South Pole expeditions which were organised during the 1950’s to perform scientific experiments on terrestrial magnetism form the basis of the exposition. These archives will be used by Belgian artists to realize new installations. In this manner the exposition fits in with one of the recurrent themes of the Verbeke Foundation: the relation between art and science.
