Inner Worlds: Heinrich and Palmer
Inner Worlds: Heinrich and Palmer
Exhibition, the result of a year-long residency.
Artists Anna Heinrich and Leon Palmer have taken findings from Winchester School of Art: water from the pond; a spiders’ web; dust; a flake of paint, and examined the worlds contained within, all the while acknowledging the relationship with the location from which they are sourced. They bring together this context and detail in this new work, building a moving, ephemeral and light-based response to the iconic architecture of the Rotunda building, projecting to the outside world from within the Rotunda itself.
The work will be readily viewable from the street and WSA premises during hours of darkness.
Heinrich and Palmer have been artists in residence at Winchester School of Art over the past tumultuous year, during lockdowns and periods of limited access, all the while encouraging broad conversations around different kinds of imaging used by the university. The door which remained constantly open to them was that of the the Biomedical Imaging Unit, part of the University located within Southampton General Hospital, where they were given access to a scanning electron microscope and other imaging equipment.
The art school occupies a place within the university, which in turn sits within a greater context of learning and exchange of information and images. Heinrich and Palmer have contributed to this greater exchange and forged enduring links between the interests of art and science.
Winchester School of Art is the oldest art school in the country; In 2020 it celebrated its 150 year anniversary. During that time it has changed location, appearance, physical provision and governance; the wealth of resourcefulness and creativity within its walls was been further tested during the residency period, by successive lockdowns and restrictions. Henrich and Palmer will usher in the next 150 years.

Abstract
Exhibition, the result of a year-long residency.
Artists Anna Heinrich and Leon Palmer have taken findings from Winchester School of Art: water from the pond; a spiders’ web; dust; a flake of paint, and examined the worlds contained within, all the while acknowledging the relationship with the location from which they are sourced. They bring together this context and detail in this new work, building a moving, ephemeral and light-based response to the iconic architecture of the Rotunda building, projecting to the outside world from within the Rotunda itself.
The work will be readily viewable from the street and WSA premises during hours of darkness.
