During 2020 GRAIN Projects awarded commissions and bursaries to 22 new bodies of work responding to Covid 19 as part of their national programme. Photographers, artists and writers created series, text and imagery responded to and documented unprecedented times.
About
Work by eight artists from this programme feature in the exhibition for FORMAT21. They show us the impact on the individual, family and communities, on our health and wellbeing, the inequalities of the pandemic, new ways of working and new closer connections with nature and each other.
Their work focuses on the private, the overlooked and the unfamiliar tropes and imagery of Covid. This is a significant record of life during Covid and the major changes to our way of living and working. Reflecting on and responding to these times as the familiar became unfamiliar the work is an important document of a year lived as never before.
Artists:
Andrea G Artz, Barnaby Kent, Chris Hoare, Chris Neophytou, Jaskirt Boora, Jemima Yong, Lydia Goldblatt, Shaista Chishty.
