The Utopian Impulse by Ben Lloyd
Saturday 14 September – Sunday 20 October 2024
The project The Utopian Impulse believes that utopia is here and now, that utopia is a state of mind and achievable through creative acts, which remove the artist from the linear perspective of time.
Collaborating artists Dorry Spikes, Danny May, and Ben Lloyd have created artwork for this exhibition on land in the St Davids valley, working with an updated version of en plein air to capture the psychological, psychic, and physiological experiences of reconnecting with a natural landscape. To help facilitate this, Lloyd constructed Experimental Stations to enable artists to engage with nature and their own imaginations.
