A Cornish contemporary art gallery has reflected on the past year of events its held and is looking forward to springing back to life next April.

The Kestle Barton Rural Centre for Contemporary Arts has held three exhibitions this year including Ben Sanderson's first solo exhibition, Green at an Angle which ran from April 17 until Jun 13.

Also exhibited was the first posthumous exhibition of Jeffery Camp, RA, Some People Dream A lot from June 19 until September 15, and then the commissioned film installation Naomi Frears: Looking for Ray, Part 3 which started September 11 and runs until October 30 meaning there's a day left to see it.

Looking ahead to next year's exhibits, a spokesperson for Kestle Barton said: "Our first show of 2022 will feature film and sculpture by Abigail Reynolds, an artist who has worked closely with Kestle Barton for almost a decade to produce a variety of projects and opportunities for creative exploration.

"This exhibition is an opportunity to see the film alongside the glass, and woodblock prints of kelp; the seaweed used to make the glass.

"Continuing themes established at Estover, Abigail considers the value of labour, and how we can change our relationship to the land.

"A new artists book will be produced for this exhibition.

"Weekend activities focused on the ongoing development of Agri/Culture 2.0 was also well attended and enjoyed, planting seeds of ideas for further development.

"The summer show for 2022 features works by the pioneering activist artist, Gustav Metzger (1926 - 2017).

"The exhibition takes its title from an unrealised sculptural project originally conceived for the UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.

"Metzger’s intention was to create a “dramatic symbol” that would give visual expression to the escalating global environmental crisis because he felt these issues “cannot live by words alone.”

"The exhibition at Kestle Barton aims to recreate two pairings which give dramatic visual form to the visible and invisible tensions in our relationship to the natural world.

"One of the pairings will focus on our different relationships with trees."
