Forest + Found in conversation with Jennifer McKellar

Описание: While Manchester Art Gallery is closed during the CORONA-19 epidemic, curator Jennifer McKellar talked to artists Forest + Found via Zoom. Forest + Found (Abigail Booth and Max Bainbridge) are exhibiting at the gallery as part of the Jerwood Makers Open.

The conversation explores their differing practices, the materials and processes they use, as well as looking at how they are coping during lockdown - including the challenges of hairstyling and laying lawn turf!

Forest + Found are a London-based partnership between artists Max Bainbridge (b. 1991, London) and Abigail Booth (b. 1991, London). Max Bainbridge graduated in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art in 2013, where he specialised in photography and sculpture. Abigail Booth graduated in Fine Art at Byam Shaw School of Art in 2010, the San Francisco Art Institute in 2012 and Chelsea College of Art in 2013, where she specialised in painting and sculpture.

Jerwood Makers Open was launched in 2010 to recognise and promote the significance of making and materials within contemporary visual arts. This seventh edition of Jerwood Makers Open brings together new commissions by artists Mark Corfield-Moore, Forest + Found (Max Bainbridge and Abigail Booth), Lucie Gledhill, Bethan Lloyd Worthington and Tana West.
