Exploratory Laboratory

Is a 30 month visual art and earth science project focusing on the Jurassic Coast. It will investigate geological processes and the methods and technology that scientists are employing to record and measure the changing coast and how artists are using it to look creatively at the environment.

The exhibition at Bridport Arts Centre will run from 18 September to 23 October with an artists’ symposium on 11 and 12 October and associated workshops, talks and demonstrations – dates and times to be confirmed.

Big Picture is a collaboration between seven visual arts organisations in rural Dorset - Artsreach, Bridport Arts Centre, Dorset Visual Arts, PVA MediaLab, Sherborne House Arts, Oliver Holt Gallery at Sherborne School and Walford Mill Crafts - working with Dorset County Council, Dorset Design and Heritage Forum and the Jurassic Coast Arts programme. Our aim is to deliver high quality visual arts in Dorset and to build new audiences for the visual arts through working together.
