`The Weather Garden: Anne Hardy curates the Arts Council Collection` opens at Towner Art Gallery
(Artdaily.org)

Towner Art Gallery is presenting The Weather Garden: Anne Hardy curates the Arts Council Collection, in which the artist-curator selects the work of twenty-six artists for a setting she has specially created within the gallery space. The Weather Garden alludes to external meteorological weather as well as embodied emotional weather, and how environmental physical experience might affect or reflect a psychological state. The exhibition presents a shifting, impermanent environment of gently fluctuating light choreographed by local weather data, and a breezeblock floor extending the length of the gallery. Over thirty works comprising sculpture, photography and video explore what Hardy calls, ‘the, sensuality and vulnerability of the body, the relationship between body and material, human and non-human, internal and external landscapes.’
