JocJonJosch: Eddy

JocJonJosch are three individual artists who work together as a collective to explore human relationships and the impact of this on each of them.

Eddy continues JocJonJosch’s investigations into collaboration. The round boat with three oars is symbolic of the collective’s dynamic, in which Joc, Jonathan and Joschi wrestle towards a destination. There is a sense that each time one would attempt to move forward, his movement would be countered by the action of the other two, leaving them literally turning in circles.

Although the boat can be rowed, its position in YSP’s landlocked historic Boat House renders its functionality ambiguous, further emphasising the collective’s struggle to start their journey.

The boat was built in collaboration with the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis.

    Jørgen Haugen Sørensen: Supplement til Titlens Afskaffelse

    Supplement til Titlens Afskaffelse (Supplement to the Title’s Abolition) embodies Haugen Sørensen’s respect for and relationship with granite. After YSP organised his first solo exhibition in the UK in 1993, the artist developed a great interest in siting sculpture in the open air, enjoying the tough, uncompromising nature of granite, which is one of our hardest and most unyielding stones.

    Woodland Spirit – Diana, formerly known as Ulbelka (a water goddess and the ancient name of the Huveaune, also a word meaning ‘destroyer’, referencing the river’s tempestuous character), was renamed by the artists in 2014 to reflect its current location at YSP.

    Mikayel Ohanjanyan: Diario

    Diario is a physical expression of the many connections that humans make with one another over the course of a lifetime, whether fleeting associations or enduring and intimate bonds. Ohanjanyan draws on a deep interest in our individuality and what we share of ourselves through our relationships with others, inspired by how the journey of our lives is shaped from beginning to end.

    David Nash: Black Mound

    Black Mound was made for the YSP landscape by David Nash in 2013. Once in place, he charred the oak forms through a carefully controlled burning process that relates to his interest in the four elements.
