May – September 2018

Groundwork was a project organised by CAST, bringing internationally celebrated art and artists to Cornwall. A season of exhibitions and events ran from 5 May until 30 September 2018. With an emphasis on moving image, sound and performance, the programme presented new commissions and acclaimed works in special venues and outdoor sites.

Contributors to the Groundwork programme included artists, writers, teachers, scientists, geographers, historians, geologists, botanists, film-makers and photographers.

Record

Podcasts, short films, audio recordings and texts reflect on field trips, workshops, talks and research undertaken as part of Groundwork.

Water music at Tremayne

Working with St Keverne band and bandleader Gareth Churcher, artist Abigail Reynolds devised an exceptional musical event for the autumn equinox.

Lightbox

Lucy Grant created a festival of shadow and light, art and animation for children and families, running throughout the school summer holidays in Helston.

Ghost

Adam Chodzko made three visits to Cornwall for Groundwork, taking passengers for voyages in his iconic vessel 'Ghost' in May, June and September.
