A series of themed exhibitions in the Rotunda Building at the Durham University Stockton Campus
During July and August EDAN has once again been asked to develop the annual ‘Art in the Garden’ at Crook Hall in Durham City. 13th century Crook Hall is one of the oldest inhabited houses in Durham city; it is a jumble of buildings reflecting its historical development. Surrounding the Hall are 6 acres of romantic garden rooms such as the Cathedral Garden and the Secret Walled Garden. Durham’s bustling market place is a short walk away; visitors describe the gardens as a ‘peaceful oasis’ A fact that possibly led William Wordsworth and John Ruskin to visit for quiet contemplation!
Several EDAN members have participated in previous ‘Art in the Garden’ events before, in fact one of our founding members David Gross has taken part in all previous 8 events Edan members will be invited to produce work that reflects on both the gardens and the Hall. This will be primarily an outdoor exhibition of sculpture and installation art with a small indoor exhibition of 2D work. During the 7 week period we intend to run workshops and other art related activities which will be open to the general public; Crook Hall itself has the facilities to accommodate any such event in a perfect setting within the centre of Durham City. gallery...
