Artists have submitted their concept for a public artwork which will be installed on the outside of the BEACH Building at Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Along with staff members from University Hospitals Dorset, representatives of local cultural and heritage settings have identified a shortlist of three artists.
We need your help to decide which artist we commission.
Below are three examples of each artist’s previous work, and their initial thoughts for this commission.
Please use this form to rank them and share your feedback.
The BEACH Building public artwork will...
· Champion art as a key aspect of the healing environment
· Form the focus point for a hospital art trail which connects to the wider hospital environment
· Link to other art initiatives across all of our hospital sites, including staff and patient participation projects
· Create a welcoming environment and improve wellbeing for visitors to the hospital
The selected artist will work with staff, patients and local community groups to further develop ideas and outcomes responding to the theme: ‘From the Coastline to the Forest’. This overarching concept for all art interventions at our Hospital takes inspiration from the area our staff and patients travel from, which stretches all the way from the New Forest to the Purbeck Isle!
