Watermark
Watermark
Jan 28, 2023 ‐ Jun 3, 2023
This exhibition is dedicated to those around the world who are affected by flooding, rising sea levels and loss of habitat.
From January to June 2023 Meadow Arts, in partnership with five Worcester organisations, will explore water and flooding through a multi-site exhibition across the city. Watermark will reveal how artists have responded to the element of water, how they have picked the urgent concerns of rising levels, flooding, drought, and invite visitors to reflect on their own relationship with the element.
Worcestershire has a long history with flooding, from its main rivers, smaller watercourses, ditches and increasingly, from surface water. Worcester itself has always been subjected to flooding from the Severn and has coped with the occurrence in various ways over the centuries. Over the past 10 years however, this has become increasingly difficult to manage.
The exhibition will take place across five venues – Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum, The Hive, St.Swithun’s, The Art House and the terraces of the University of Worcester’s City Campus. A showcase of artworks made by local children who have experienced flooding themselves and engaged with the exhibition will be on show at Worcester Cathedral during July.
Artists: Suky Best, Carolyn Black, Emma Critchley, Simon Faithfull, Gabriella Hirst, Hilary Jack, Naiza Khan, Tania Kovats, Sally Payen, Daniel Pryde-Jarman.
Join us for a series of talks with many of the artists throughout the exhibition, presented in partnership with the University of Worcester’s Fine Art department. Find out more here.

Working alongside Canaletto : A Venetians View at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum the Bursary winners and participants were asked to reflect upon the life and work of Canaletto, their own research and field experience of Venice. Venice now, Venice then.

led neon text installation, 368cm x 200cm
Starley Housing Co-operative, Vicroft Court
This artwork is a collaboration between artists Daniel Pryde-Jarman and Jane Ball that responds to the activist history of the Starley Road neighbourhood. It forms a tribute to the agency and determination of the residents who saved their street from demolition, and initiated the city’s first self-managed housing cooperative, still surviving after 40 years.
The self-titled work, our own little island, is an led neon text piece installed within the windows of the Starley Housing Co-operative communal room in Vicroft Court, opposite the former Ikea building. The exact location of the Ikea building was also influenced by the community of Starley Rd, who successfully campaigned to have the building lowered and moved by 62 feet further from their homes. The project aims to engage with current residents and explore the potential to propose new models for living and alternate notions of home.
The words themselves come from a quote in the Coventry Telegraph by resident Alan Mulholland who continues to live in Vicroft Court. When asked about the Starley Housing Cooperative he said:
‘We have our own little island in the middle of the city.’
During Coventry’s year as UK City of Culture, Coventry Artspace has awarded bursaries for local artists to create work for Coventry communities. This project is inspired by artists, all over the world, who have found ways to bring moments of light to their neighbourhoods during the pandemic by sharing their work in windows, balconies and on the streets.
The project is funded by Arts Council England, National Lottery Community Fund, Coventry City Council and Coventry City of Culture Trust (CCCT) and builds on the Window Wanderland trails led by CCCT in 2021. Via the audio App ECHOES, audiences can listen to the featured artists and the location of their work.

Criticismism Review
Criticismism review of my recent show at Sidney Nolan Trust:
Daniel Pryde-Jarman at Sidney Nolan Trust, Mark Sheerin, Criticismism (09/21)
Sluice magazine - The Institution
As a project matures it inevitably seeks sustainability which often involves bringing on board different stakeholders who in turn have their own stakeholders, each with their own interests. The singlular vision of the artist-led project can succumb to paralysis-by-committee. Whilst it’s not inevitable that compliance-culture and bureaucratisation must overtake all institutions it’s easy to drift in that direction if you’re not alive to the possibility.
The artist-led and the institution have a symbiotic relationship – each seeking validation from the other. When the establishment co-opts the grass-roots as seen in the 2021 Turner Prize nominations for instance, it raises the question of where and how should the artist-led position itself in response.
Certainly not all projects see a virtue in holding institutionalism at arm’s length – and by defining ourselves as artists we de facto position ourself within a certain institutional framework. But we think there’s something interesting about projects that have a certain institutional critique baked into their platform, or at least that are conscious of whether they’re outside the tent pissing in or inside the tent pissing on their own foot.

Thanks to those who came to the opening last week at the Sidney Nolan Trust.
Driving rain and supportive friends.
The exhibition around the grounds of the SNT is on until 26th September.
Sluice Magazine
An extract of my PhD focussing upon Institutional Critique and artist-run spaces will be included in the forthcoming edition of Sluice magazine.
Sluice - run by artists and curators - assumes the form of a collaborative, provocative artwork. The authors of which are everyone that comes into contact with the project.
Sluice strategically adopts structures in order to showcase artist, curator and emergent discourse, projects and galleries.
In addition to our extramural activities, exhibitions, talks, screenings, magazine, we stage a non-profit Biennial in London and a roaming international expo every alternate year.

Coming soon to the Sidney Nolan Trust
in Exhibitions
As part of their reopening and Spring programme launch in May 2021, I will install a number of recent sculptures in response to different sites on the grounds of the Sidney Nolan Trust. These new works explore ideological shifts in the function of monuments and display devices, and the ways in which forms of simulation in architecture might both disrupt and be disrupted. One of the featured works, Dazzle, which comprises of 2 sentry boxes located at different ends of the SNT site, references the ways in which forms of observation and ‘watching over’ are themselves frequently made visible to signify the control and demarcation of space. Dazzle will be used for a series of observations and recordings of the surrounding landscape in May-June 2021.
