Contemporary Art in Historic Places

Artists: Imogen Stidworthy, Richard Wentworth and Louise K. Wilson

‘Contemporary Art in Historic Places’ was a collaboration between the National Trust, English Heritage and Commissions East, developed to attract new visitors to heritage sites or to engage existing visitors in new ways.

Imogen Stidworthy, Richard Wentworth and Louise K. Wilson created site-specific temporary projects by working closely with property staff, volunteers, visitors and neighbouring communities, inspired by the unique character, culture, heritage and environment of three different locations in the East of England.
