ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE<br />
The Artists in Residence programme enriches<br />
the creative learning environment of the College<br />
by providing support to full time graduate and<br />
postgraduate students through tutorial sessions,<br />
as well as making public presentations on<br />
their practices, and the work produced during<br />
the residency. During Autumn 2014 George<br />
Charman’s interpretation of the Artichoke House<br />
will be on public display on the West Lawn at<br />
West Dean College.<br />
Artists, makers and conservators are invited to apply for a<br />
residency in connection with a specific College department or<br />
towards interdisciplinary practice. Applicants should be highly<br />
motivated, accomplished practitioners who wish to develop<br />
their practice within an experimental research-based context.<br />
West Dean College awards residencies for a period of three<br />
weeks. Be inspired by the House, its collections, the archive<br />
and award-winning gardens. Residents have full board and<br />
lodging and will be provided with studio space, access to<br />
skilled technical support and a range of specialist workshops,<br />
as well as other learning resources such as the library and<br />
the computer suites.<br />

ARTICHOKE HOUSE<br />
The Artichoke House was designed by Edward James in<br />
collaboration withSalvador Dali and Christopher Nicholson in<br />
1936. During Autumn 2014 George Charman’s interpretation<br />
of the Artichoke House will be on public display on the West<br />
Lawn at West Dean College.<br />
By constructing an interpretation of<br />
Edward James’ Artichoke House and<br />
drawing inspiration from his concrete<br />
folly in the Jungle Garden in Mexico,<br />
I hope to bring into being a structure<br />
that I feel may have been the genesis<br />
for Xilitla, arguably the most important<br />
example of Surrealist architecture.<br />
