Artist Commission
Description
We are looking for an artist to create an artwork that responds to a display of objects on the ground floor of Killerton House, each chosen by people connected to Killerton. The working title of this display is ‘Our Killerton’. These people could include our volunteers, our staff, our visitors, and local community groups connected to Killerton, like Inclusive Exeter and the ‘Killertonians’ (see Brief here for more detail: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/devon/killerton/visiting-killerton-house).
These groups will have chosen these objects by responding to the prompt; ‘Objects can evoke memories, emotions and personal interests. What object at Killerton House speaks to you and why?’ You will lead a series of workshops with a variety of these people, to create an artwork exploring the themes of community at Killerton and the people-led stories behind its objects. This commission will put our collections in dialogue with these new perspectives to celebrate Killerton’s relevance to people today.
The final artwork will be installed in the Study (a spacious room on the ground floor, once used as an estate office and study, now a temporary exhibition area, approx 900 x 620cm) and launched in late June/early July 2026. It will be on display for visitors to enjoy until 1st November 2026.
The total fee will be £3250 (see breakdown below) + £1800 that the NT will hold to support project (.e.g. for interpretation, display, launch event etc). For full details see full Artist Brief here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/devon/killerton/visiting-killerton-house
