Three
Points of Contact is a new roving residency and evolving network that offer the
opportunity for curators to work together, as well as bringing international
artists into contact with UK artists in contrasting locations and environments:
a gallery in an old school house (New School House Gallery, York), a Charles
Rennie Mackintosh designed museum (The Glasgow School of Art) and a gallery in
an old telephone exchange, (Exchange Gallery, Penzance). Devised by three
curators, Jenny Brownrigg (GSA Exhibitions), Judit Bodor (York), Blair Todd (Exchange
Gallery, Penzance), the residency sets up as an experimental space in each
participating gallery, where the artists can research and develop ideas through
collaborative experiments, dialogue and public interaction. Two artists from
each of the three areas are undertaking group residencies as part of the
project along with an international artist, von Calhau! The core artists group
will be joined by different regional artists at each venue
