Open Studio: Annabel Duggleby

Artist in residence, Annabel Duggleby will be holding an open studio as part of her residency with Hauser & Wirth Somerset at The Maltings studio in Bruton. You are invited to come along and meet her and find out about the work she has been doing during her stay with us. Annabel’s residency is part of the University of the Arts London Art for the Environment International Artist Residency Progamme 2017. Annabel Duggleby, is a recent graduate (2016) of Wimbledon College of Arts, where she studied Fine Art: Print and Time-Based Media. Her practice revolves around issues related to landscape and power, and deals with themes of mobility, land use, globalisation and post-colonialism. During the AER residency at Hauser & Wirth Somerset she will be focusing on Oudolf Field, the landscaped garden designed by Piet Oudolf, and would like to research the plants and grasses used, their history and the journey that brought them to Somerset. The resulting work will comprise moving image, objects, photographs and writings that present different histories, narratives and sites alongside each other. With this work she hopes to continue exploring how the English landscape can be engaged in a political conversation, but also find positive outcomes that might arise from problematic colonial histories. This is a free, drop in event. All enquiries: debbie@hauserwirth.com
