ABSTRACT

An exhibition by contemporary international artists of work created to express ideas of place and location, and the need, and indeed the urge, of humans to connect with the world. 'One of the most remarkable places in Europe and a World Heritage Site, comprising the spectacular ruin of a twelfth-century Cistercian Abbey and monastic watermill, an Elizabethan mansion, and one of the best surviving examples of a Georgian water garden. The chapter suggests that visiting places of beauty, great architecture and designed, open spaces that enhance nature, in order to achieve these aims. A space other than an art gallery can be deliberately used to place and display created works of art. Cathedrals are huge and inspiring spaces, built in a way that promotes intensity of feeling. This magnificent, ancient building was on this occasion also giving space to an art installation entitled Resurrection by Anthony Green.
