Groundswell Two is a contemporary mixed media art exhibition featurng the work and ideas of 17 artists, coming together at the instigation of photographer George Harris in a response to the current regeneration within the City of Derby. The artists responses range from a documentary approach through to using imaginary landscapes to comment on change as a process, but all united in valuing the exhibition’s independence from organisations with a vested interest in the regeneration process. The themes of Groundswell centre on the new inner ring road extension, as a geographic spinal column, a psycho-social connection to the ever changing urban environment.
Do it Yourself Groundswell Two as an idea is a sequel to the Groundswell* exhibition that took place in 2003 with 9 artists and some Arts Council backing.Having entered into the same process to find funds for part two,applying to the Arts Council again, but unfortunatly didn’t receive the same response. Deciding to continue with the plans for the exhibition and raise money through fundraising events at the Five Lamps in Duffield Road, Derby.
The Work The collective of artists use various media to produce their work, includng photography, painting, film, text, installation, sound sculpture as well as performance and community interaction. The works range from traditional wall based installations, projected moving image to a work that will be developed throughout the period of the show ending in an event.
The Groundswell Two exhibition will be taking place at the University of Derby Green Lane Campus from the 10 - 24 November opening with a preview night on the 10th November 6 - 8pm.
