Hinterland




Hinterland began in Nottingham in 2006. The River Trent has approximately thirty tributaries, depending on which source one consults.  Each element in Hinterland represents different streams feeding into a larger body of water. As well as being a metaphor for naturally occurring streams, an artist’s individual project also often ‘pays tribute’ to the geographical location beside the River Trent or as part of the industrial hinterland of Nottingham city centre.

Hinterland continues to work with artists on more temporary events including site specific installations, study groups and new commissions.  Hinterland is currently involved in researching art projects along a ten mile car free route alongside the Trent through partnership with The Big Track, Nottingham Contemporary and a collection of artist consultants including John Newling, Marcus Coates, Sophie Hope and Neil Cummings.
