Simon Morrissey is Director of two of the South West’s most innovative visual arts platforms.
About
In 2008 he established WORKS|PROJECTS as a commercial gallery in Bristol, representing a distinctive stable of British artists including Andy Holden, Heather & Ivan Morison and Richard Woods. WORKS|PROJECTS has recently expanded it remit to also concentrate on initiatives to develop the visual arts infrastructure of the South West as well as continue representing artists commercially.
Simon is also co-director of Foreground, the commissioning organisation he founded with Tabitha Clayson in 2007. Foreground create new art for new audiences and realise temporary and permanent commissions in the South West of England, many in their home town of Frome, Somerset, that explore the relationship between art and its diverse settings and publics.
Simon will discuss his motivations for running these two very different platforms, their different functions in the visual arts ecology and the different pressures and rewards for artists working within and outside of each system.
