The project has two objectives :
Firstly, to provide a home for the Demarco Archive under one roof. It is important to have adequate space to enable researchers to catalogue the archive and for exhibiting to the public the artworks contained in it, from time to time.
Secondly, to provide locations on the farm at Skateraw where ‘site-specific’ and ‘land art’ projects can be carried out. Johnny and Sandra Watson, owners of Skateraw, have recently visited both Guiliano Gori’s world famous collection at his farm in Tuscany and Ian Hamilton Finlay’s sculpture garden at Stonypath. They are inspired to have similar projects on their own coastal farmland.
The exhibition will be open from
29th August to 31st October, 2005.
Daily from Wednesday to Sunday, from
11.30 am to 4.00 pm
Free admission
