Concept design for In Other Worlds, I Love You by David Cotterrell
Tatton Park Biennial in Cheshire once again looks to have an intriguing programme lining up for its third event. Arts Council confirmed their financial support at the end of January, and the event is due to open on 12 May and run until 30th September 2012.
The Biennial theme, 'Flights of Fancy', considers 'the human urge to fly, to accomplish the impossible in fragile times'. The artists are 'considering the impact of experimentation on delicate eco-systems, looking backward and forward for guidance, wisdom and/or humour. Their proposed results are experiments in time and space.'
