Rochford Art Collector Series
A commission for Rochford District Council, in collaboration with Stuart Bowditch.
Rochford Art Collector Series took place during Rochford Trail, September 2013. Visitors to the Trail could collect and keep a limited run of 7 commissioned artworks by visiting venues on Trail.
Artworks were not made available in one complete piece – each work was reproduced in 9 micro-business card sized, ‘pocketable’ segments. Trail visitors could collect each of the 9 segments, from 9 different venues, and then reassemble the 9 pieces to create the completed artwork. Each artwork (and its comprising 9 segments) was available on one day of the Trail, with 7 complete artworks to collect over 7 days.
Six micro-commissions were made available to artists interested in participating in the project. Artworks were available to collect on the following days in September, and you can see all the works on the companion website www.rochfordartcollectorseries.co.uk, which gives access to more information on the commissions and extra content to accompany the collecting experience:
