THE FRIENDS OF

CANNIZARO PARK

 

Wimbledon's Finest Garden 

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Summer 2008

PARK 08 brings room for thought   

Over 25 works were shown at PARK 08, this year’s Wimbledon College of Art exhibition at Cannizaro Park in May. The exhibition of objects, performance events and interventions made especially for Cannizaro included new fine artworks, both by local students and those from the Kunsthochschule in Kassel, Germany.

Seen top from the left:

Title: Forever Glam. Artist: Elizabeth Dennis
A free-standing make-up screen, mirrors smeared with makeup, reflects the natural beauty that surrounds it.

Title: Meat Feast. Artist: Jessica Taylor
A brightly coloured picnic, enticingly set out on the grass, turns out on closer inspection to be painted meat, naturally in the process of decay.

Title: Sinking Hut. Artist: Dexter Dymoke
A beautifully constructed wooden hut is apparently sinking – or rising from – the ground.

Title: Sticky Rainbow. Artist: Jessica Taylor
 Strands of wool strung between an avenue of trees give the distant impression of a coloured mist.

Seen above from the left:

Title: What goes around comes around. Artist: Marie Stevens
The artist has cast her own body in bird seed which, like Meat Feast, gradually disintegrates through natural causes. In this case, we assume it has been eaten by birds! 

Title: Untitled (Doors). Artist: Ana Esteve
Real doors have appeared in the woods. The artist is one of the guest exhibitors from the
Kunsthochschule in Kassel, Germany.

Title: Whispering Grass. Artist: Alice Wong
Visitors are invited to entrust their whispered secrets with the tree, from whose crevices grow clumps of grass.
