“a gift increases in vitality the more it is given”

Field Exchange is a collaborative event-based artwork. Throughout the duration of York Open Studios, Suzi Tibbetts and Hermione Spriggs will build and alter objects that respond to the local environment and processes of carriage, encompassing a physical dialogue with the visiting public that involves the transportation of works between the two artists studios. Field Exchange inhabits the physical space that separates yet connects two individual working situations, and extends to incorporate the transfer of materials, methods and inspiration across disciplinary borderlines.
After the initial exchange process, the project will continue to develop in the main gallery space at Bar Lane Studios, extending the artists studio into the public realm and providing a platform for further collaboration. The exhibition of resultant works and documentation will evolve over the week beginning 1th April, culminating in a Private View on Friday 15th April.

Field Exchange at Bar Lane Studios: 11th April - 16th April. Open daily 9.30 am to 4.30 pm.
