Wooden curved structure, 16m × 3.5m, florescent lights, flowers, plastic trays, flower foam.
In months leading to re-opening of Arnolfini, Bristol, UK, Bradley contacted groups of Bristol people who shared an interest in plants or gardens. Over the six weeks of the opening show a panoramic durational ‘display garden’ was re-created every five days by the artist and groups. Visitors were invited to watch the work being made, during which the gallery became a fleeting social space; then a still space. The appearance of nature and unity were constructs; the work being a series of discreet arrangements artificially lit.
Commissioned by Arnolfini, Bristol UK, 2005 as part of This Storm is What We Call Progress. Curated by Caroline Collier and Martin Clark
