Grizedale Arts, Artist-in-Residence Programme
Grizedale Visitor Centre
Grizedale, United Kingdom
I was invited to an artist-in-residence programme in Grizedale in the Lake District, England. I realised a project about the region and the people in the region there.
Firstly, I conducted a series of in-depth Ÿeldwork research about Grizedale, and interviewed Ÿve groups of people who live and work in the vicinity, asking about their life, relationships with the place, and memorable things that had happened in the area. The results of my Ÿeldwork including the interviews were ultimately presented to the public inside the Grizedale Visitor Centre, in the form of Grizedale Museum accompanied by texts, images, and some commemorative objects.
This 'museum' has functioned as a place where Grizedale's local people and visitors from elsewhere gather, relax, talk about their ideas and memories, and contemplate their relationships with their hometown and loved ones. Grizedale Museum has become a permanent installation at the Visitor Centre, and attracted many visitors to date. It is also used for their educational programmes including a workshop for children.
