The Art Station is proud to present LAND, a bold and expansive group exhibition showcasing the work of 27 contemporary artists, each engaging with the dynamic and often complex relationship between humans and the natural world. From the reflective to the humorous, from optimism to confrontation, LAND offers a powerful artistic response to the environment through an array of innovative practices.
Curated by Clare Palmier, Director of The Art Station, this multi-site exhibition features a rich mix of media including painting, drawing, video, installation, sound and performance displayed across three unique venues in Suffolk as well as The Old Bank Riverside Garden.
