The Summerhouse Interventions

On completing The Summerhouse in 2010, Sagar and Campbell were drawn to the potential for what could happen in the glasshouse itself, seeing it as a context for experimenting with installation ideas. They curated a series of interventions within The Summerhouse, where the positive responses of the staff at the hospital informed the development of the programme. The programme included live performance from cellist and performer Li Lu and an installation of stacked rolls of bed-sheets by artist Annie Harrison. There were further playful interventions from the artists themselves such as filling the glass structure with a multitude of white origami paper birds and a mass of huge white spherical balloons.
