I curated three exhibitions each year in the Stables Gallery and Project Space at Cheeseburn Sculpture between 2014 and 2019.
The spring exhibition was the regular presentation of design proposals for the Gillian Dickinson North East Sculptor of the Year Award. The exhibitions were mainly solo shows focussed on studio practice and the making process from artists in the North East or with connections to the region. I was pleased to programme a number of established artists alongside new and experimental artists.
The chronology of exhibiting artists was: 2014/15 David Mach; 2015 Neil and Richard Talbot, Colin Rose; 2016 Paul Scott, Sarah Dunn; Laura Johnston, Chris Watson with Linda France, David Nash; 2017 Fred Watson; Mike Collier with Alex Charrington (assisted by Rachael Clewlow),Bennett Hogg, Ayako Tani , Andrew Richardson and poet Jake Campbell; 2018 Qi Yafeng; Joseph Hillier; 2019 Simon Hitchens; Louise Plant with Bennet Hogg.
