Framing Identity

Kate MccGwire

 From May to September 2010, Tatton Park staged its second Biennial of contemporary art, a laboratory for creative experiment and exchange, with new works commissioned for the Mansion and Formal Gardens.


Twenty-one artists contributed to the life of the Biennial, with commissions considering ideas about what links people to place, notions of history and place-making and collective visions for the future.

Tatton Park is a listed site, owned by the National Trust and managed by Cheshire East Council. Framing Identity responded to the estate as a living and evolving subject rather than as an historical keepsake
