Grizedale Arts, a rurally based organisation where Adam Sutherland is the director, operates from a small-holding in the Lake District of England. The programme is both intensely local – the immediate valley – and international with projects across the globe in both major institutions and small rural communities. The organisation works to make creativity a part of everyday life, an action rather than a product.

Recent exhibitions include, 'The Land we Live in' presented in Hauser and Wirth Somerset, 'A Fairland' for Irish Museum of Modern Art, and 'Joy Forever' Whitworth Gallery. Projects include 'The Expanded Dream of Kiwanosato' – a residency and schools programme as part of a rural development initiative, and ‘The Road’, a community project to build an outdoor education park. From the farm Lawson Park Grizedale Arts hosts an ongoing programme of residencies, volunteer placements and internships working to develop the land and buildings as creative and innovative ways to live.

Adam Sutherland is visiting Norway as part of OCA’s International Visitor Programme (IVP). OCA runs an International Visitor Programme to support international curators and cultural producers in their research in Norway for upcoming exhibitions and projects.
