Future Perfect

I was co-curator, with Theresa Bergne, of Future Perfect, an ambitious art commissioning programme in Hengrove, south Bristol (2012 - 2016).

The programme was made up of three commissions by Nils Norman, David Thorpe, Martino Gamper and a book of drawings by local resident Garth England. The theme for the programme was the future; a notional, fantastical future which embraces extraordinary possibilities and dreams.
