HOCP at Home with Artist Duncan Marquiss
Between 2016 and 2020, Cove Park’s programme of workshops and events for children and young people was known as Hands-On Cove Park. During the Covid-19 crisis and related lockdowns, this programme moved from in-person events at Cove Park, to a series of online activities and creative projects for young people and families at home. Cove Park worked with artists and former residents to devise these free projects, sharing films, leading Zoom workshops, and delivering activity packs and materials to homes in our local area. This work was made possible with support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
In this film, Glasgow-based visual artist Duncan Marquiss gives insight into his practice and offers a word and image association project to try at home. Duncan first came to Cove Park in 2008 for a Visual Arts residency. He returned in 2019 to take part in the Experimental Film & Moving Image programme and to lead Saturday Studio workshops as part of Hands-On Cove Park. Duncan was awarded the prestigious Margaret Tait Award in 2015 and, in 2016, presented his major solo exhibition, ‘Copying Errors’ at DCA. This exhibition included the short video work ‘Midgie Noise’ filmed during his 2008 residency at Cove Park.
