Public art at the University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus

The artworks by John Wood and Paul Harrison, Ellie Shipman, and Room 13 Hareclive were celebrated with an evening viewing and panel discussion on Tuesday 6 October at the Sloane Robinson Building in Temple Quarter.

The new commissions include two permanent installations on the ground floor of the building, alongside a newly commissioned short film. The commissions were developed to embed creativity into the new campus and to encourage creative exchange and connection between the University and the wider city. They offer distinctive responses to the campus and its context, exploring its connections to innovation and industry, the waterways and green spaces that shape the site, and the communities that will define its future.

The programme was delivered in partnership with the University of Bristol and the Contemporary Art Society *Consultancy and secured through Bristol City Council’s Public Art Policy as part of the Art and the Public Realm programme.
