Cartwright Hall Cartwright Hall was built in 1904 in the Baroque style and set in a fine parkland setting. It houses major collections of Victorian and Edwardian paintings, ceramics, textiles, prints and sculpture. There is an active exhibitions programme, which in 2005 includes Hibrida (printmaking in Britain and the Czech Republic), the Jerwood Applied Arts prize, and Black British Style. A major project 'Connect' is soon
to be undertaken to reorganise the collections and present them
on the basis of themes.

The brief The staff were keen to work with an artist who would engage with staff and visitors, and who would question some aspect of the role of the Museum. This could include challenging ways of collecting and presenting work, or the dialogues and interpretations of the displays. The facilities available made the residency suitable for creative practices that embraced digital technology, performance, conceptual art, photography or socially engaged practice. More traditional media were not excluded, although wet, dirty, dusty or noisy pratices would not be possible due to the limitations of the available space. There was no requirement for an exhibition at the end of the residency, although the artist is expected to create temporary installations or works, and to document the process of the bursary. Leeds based artists Amelia Crouch was selected, and she started her residency at the beginning of July. For more about her previous work, see Amelia Crouch Amelia has already set up a website
to document the progress of the residency; you are invited to follow
her progress, and contribute to the development of her ideas, on |
