The Weather Garden: Anne Hardy curates the Arts Council Collection
British artist Anne Hardy curates the Arts Council Collection in Towner’s final exhibition as part of the Arts Council Collection National Partners Programme 2016-19. Hardy’s work derives from places she calls "pockets of wild space"—gaps in the urban space where materials, atmospheres, and emotions gather—using what she finds there to manifest immersive, sensory and unstable installation works. Hardy brings this approach to her selection for Towner, envisioning the space as a shifting impermanent landscape to contain works engaged with material, physical action, and sensuality.
