For Jupiter Artland this summer, Tessa Lynch will respond to an ancient law which stated that if you could build a small cottage and have a fire lit in the hearth before sunset you could keep the land. To take advantage of this opportunity required support from the local community to achieve the build.
With this concept in mind, Lynch will create Raising, a jigsaw of parts that can be constructed by the artist and a team of volunteers to create a domain that will permit open conversation about the current restrictions on home planning, construction and development, set within the footprint of an average modern new-build.
The reenactment of a barn raising, a popular form of home construction in medieval times, will culminate in a fire being lit within the sculptural set surrounded by the self constructed elements the artists and her team have constructed on the day. Each ‘enactment’ will be deconstructed and rebuilt throughout the duration of the exhibition.
