New Forest Artist In Residence Talk: Boredomresearch

Join boredomresearch for an artist talk on their exhibition Spring Fall at SPUD. Developed during their New Forest Artist Residency, the exhibition draws on research with rangers, ecologists, and archivists.

Spring Fall is a meditation on memory, impermanence, and the incalculability of loss in the natural world. A moving image installation transfigures the final fall of a bark-stripped beech tree in Bolderwood. Leaves dance in defiance of gravity, carrying traces of a forest memory – suspended on borrowed time.

boredomresearch is the collaborative practice of Vicky Isley and Paul Smith. Using animation and programming they simulate and reimagine natural processes. Combining scientific research with their creative speculations to reveal the interconnections between ourselves and our more-than-human world.

Presented as part of the New Forest Artist in Residence Programme, in partnership with the New Forest National Park Authority, with support from Arts Council England.
