Hinterland at Ovoid studio

Something special is happening on the outskirts of Brighton. Hinterland is a themed show of sculpture and drawings taking place at Ovoid studio which is a shed in a back garden in leafy Ovingdean on the edge of the Brighton metropolis. The show is also part of the Artists Open Houses festival that takes place every weekend in May all over the city.

I will be hosting a group show entitled Hinterland and showing the work of other Brighton, Sussex and UK artists as well as my own. I will be clearing and preparing the shed this spring as an exhibition space and using parts of the garden as an art populated corridor that will lead visitors to it for all the weekends of the AoH event in May.

You can follow my progress towards the open weekends and events on the Ovoid studio Instagram account and there is also an Ovoid Facebook page with its own events section where you can register your interest in attending the show.

Hinterland – what does it mean?

I have written more about how I chose the Hinterland theme and here’s a set of definitions of the word from Wiktionary to consider:

• The land immediately next to, and inland from, a coast.
• The rural territory surrounding an urban area, especially a port.
• A remote or undeveloped area, a backwater.
• That which is unknown or unexplored about someone.
• Anything vague or ill-defined, especially something that is ill understood.
