Abstract

Exhibition dates: 27 May - 31 October 2021

Hospitalfield commissioned a major new outdoor exhibition Gerroff!! (or User Feedback) to open at the Launch of the Garden & Garden Buildings on 27 May 2021. The new artworks were Hospitalfield’s Annual Sculpture Commission for 2021.

Gerroff!! (or User Feedback) is a series of scenes that create a narrative trail at Hospitalfield humorously addressing the ‘rules’ of engagement with art. Mick Peter’s playful installations incorporate imagery influenced by illustration and commercial art. His sculptures are often enlarged drawings, used to animate the narrative of his exhibitions which satirise the symbols of power and authority as well as art making itself.

As an accompaniment to the exhibition and to bring more voices into the project, we invited curator Helen Nisbet to interview Mick Peter on his commission Gerroff!! (Or User Feedback) and the new Cafe tables he created for Hospitalfield with ThreeFourFive Furniture.
Mick Peter was in conversation with curator and writer Roger Malbert on Saturday 19 June.
