Artists in residence announced for Temple Quarter
Three artists will document the changing face of the area around the former sorting office next to Temple Meads as it is transformed into the University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.
The artists plan to produce works such as an immersive 360-degree film installation and performance poetry, and also take part in events where people will be asked to share their own experiences of the area.
The three artists selected for the unique project are Vanessa Kisuule, Paul Hurley and Jay Bernard.

Vanessa, currently Bristol’s official city poet, will work with community groups to get a sense of what the area means to them, collecting memories of the past and hopes for the future.
Performance artist Paul will look at how both human and animal communities inhabit the site and connect with each other, with his insights turned into a series of films to be shown on multiple screens.
Jay, who won the Ted Hughes award for new poetry this year, plans to create an experimental 360-degree film to explore how we build, develop and occupy space, which viewers can experience through VR headsets.
