Hatton Gallery Offsite Commission

The Hatton Gallery is inviting expressions of interest to create a major new art installation which creatively showcases the Hatton Gallery’s collection, and references its important history in the development of installation art and exhibition design. The commission is intended to engage audiences by allowing them to enter into the installation and interact with the reproduction artworks on show.

The artwork will tour to outdoor locations around the region, so must have some form of demountable structure. It will be sited in areas of public thoroughfare near three selected cultural venues, so must be appropriate for open-air conditions. Following the ‘expression of interests’ stage, the shortlisted artists will work in liaison with an architect to devise a suitable demountable structure for the installation.

The total budget for the production of the artwork is £10,000, which must include all production costs (e.g. materials, technical support, structural build, cost of reproducing collection works etc.). The selected artist will receive a fee of £4000, plus expenses for site-visits and install period.
