FieldWork: 25 March 2022 – 25 June 2022
Kim Norton, Annie Woodford, Jane Cairns, Nicky Hirst, Grant Aston, Robert Cooper FieldWork is an exhibition about the spaces that exist between the urban and the rural. Work in the field is key to a methodology. It is about exploration, observation and presentation. Six artists challenge many of our ingrained images of urban-rural as binary opposites. They are looking at the fringes of the city where rural and urban meet and merge. Exploring spaces such as rivers, woodlands, paths or wastelands. Spaces where urban nature thrives. Finding images in gardens, allotments, churchyards, and parks. FieldWork is both a lens through which to view urban nature, and a description of artistic practice. At the Sainsbury Centre this spring and summer

Consultation alert!
Norwich City Council have a plan to improve Hay Hill in central Norwich (between Next and Primark). However, this includes removing the public artwork Homage to Sir Thomas Browne by French artists Anne & Patrick Poirier. They are running a consultation until 25 March 2022 - even though that date is past, you can send letters to zoetebbutt@norwich.gov.uk to say what you think.You can find out more about the artwork, Thomas Browne and the consultation here Ode to a Flint at Norwich Castle
A joint statement on behalf of Norfolk Museums Service and Yelena Popova. On Saturday 12 March Ode to a Flint, a solo show by Russian born, UK based artist, Yelena Popova, was due to open in the Timothy Gurney Gallery at Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery. The exhibition explored the connections between the UK nuclear industry, landscape and the passage of time through painting, tapestry and an installation of flints. In response to the war in Ukraine, Norfolk Museums Service has decided not to go ahead with the exhibition in its original form. Yelena, in agreement, has withdrawn her works and instead, invites members of the public to bring stones to place in the gallery as a gesture of solidarity with all the people affected by the current conflict. In this way, Norfolk Museums Service and Yelena hope that the gallery will become a place of reflection and a symbol of support for everyone affected by this humanitarian and political disaster. In keeping with the spirit of this collaborative installation, visitors will be encouraged to donate to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal The installation will close on Sunday 24 April.
