Experience the South Downs Way through inspirational artworks.
The South Downs Way is a 100-mile-long distance walk over the spectacular and ancient South Downs, from Winchester to Eastbourne. This exhibition represents another chapter in the ongoing engagements with the landscape as 32 contemporary artists articulate the experience of walking the Way through the lens of their practices.
Responding to specific locations along the route, artists from across the region have been invited to create new works inspired by this dramatic landscape on our doorstep.
The Downs are complex and multi-faceted with ever-changing views and close encounters with fauna and flora, as well as intriguing discoveries of unusual buildings or ruins and signs of historic and contemporary human activity. Inspired by all it has to offer, this display brings together exceptional paintings and printmaking, sculpture, land art, textiles and more, from artists including Fiona McIntyre, andrew carnie, Jon Edgar, Howard Phipps and Simon Hitchens.

Andrew Carnie is an artist and emeritus academic at Winchester School of Art, Southampton University. His practice often involves a meaningful interaction with scientists. He is part of the Critical Practices Research team where his interests lie in exploring the self, through notions of hybridity, in organ transplantation and immunology. Other themes and ideas are often based on neurology, the brain, and how we get a sense of ourselves through scientific ideas, and images The work is often time-based in nature, involving slide dissolve systems or video projection onto complex screens. In darkened spaces layered images appear and disappear on suspended voiles, the developing display absorbing the viewer into an expanded sense of space and time through slowly unfolding narratives that evolve around them. His work has been exhibited at the Science Museum, London, Natural History Museum, Rotterdam, Design Museum, Zurich, Exit Art, in New York, Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown, Great North Museum, Newcastle, Pera Museum, Istanbul, Dresden Hygiene Museum, Morevska Gallery, Brno, and the Daejeon Museum of Art, South Korea amongst many others, most recently the Hatton Gallery and Vane, Newcastle.
