Artist in Residence
The residency at Gloucester was set up through a partnership between the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester Cathedral, the University of Gloucestershire (formerly Cheltenham & Gloucester College of Higher Education) and Gloucester City Cultural Services. The partnership has received support from South West Arts and the Esmee Fairbairn Charitable Trust, for which it is extremely grateful.
The residency includes lectures open to the public and the wider University audience, exhibitions at the Cathedral and elsewhere and work with students of the Fine Arts Department of the University, and with schools and other community groups.
David Behar-Perahia (2010 – 2011)
David Behar-Perahia is a French/Israeli multi-faceted artist working in diverse media: video, sculpture, installation, drawing and performance, mostly within a site-specific approach. In his work he is observing the notion of "place" to discover the layers that compose a local context, while relating to the cultural, social, historical and physical-geographical aspects. His background in Science and Architecture enables him to approach localities in a unique way. During the last decade he has exhibited extensively in Israel, the UK, France, Italy (including the 53rd Venice Biennale) and Greece. His work will be included in our ground-breaking sculpture exhibition Crucible in the autumn
