Cuckoo Farm Studios, firstsite, Arts Council England

In late 2008 curator and fellow Cuckoo Farm Studio (CFS) resident Linda Theophilus proposed to me a curatorial collaboration, centred on the annual CFS summer outdoor exhibition ‘Outside’, a show I had curated earlier that year. Linda (who had extensive experience as a curator, as well as working with various arts councils) wanted an insight into new media and I in turn wanted to increase my curatorial experience which at that stage was in its infancy.

Below is the Artist Support Paper created by then firstsite’s Assistant Curator Laura Earley highlighting the project.
