Victor & Hester
Duration
Cove Park’s One-to-One programme was established in 2012 and is designed to support artists working in collaboration. This year, the residency has been awarded to Victor & Hester, an ongoing collaborative project between visual artists Amelia Bywater and Emma Fitts.
Launched in 2010, Victor & Hester work collaboratively with both Scotland-based and international artists to present performance, text and printed matter within and around temporary social spaces. The Cove Park residency will provide Bywater and Fitts with an intense period of research and production time together, leading to the development of new work.
Victor & Hester was launched in 2010 by artists Amelia Bywater, Kirstin Carlin, Emma Fitts and Camilio Paravicini. It is now currently organised by Amelia Bywater and Emma Fitts and to date has produced more than 40 journals and events working with over 60 artists. Recent projects include a production residency and events at X Marks the Bokship, London (November 2013), and an events series for the artist run space Dog Park in Christchurch, New Zealand (February – March 2014).
