Bideford Black is a unique pigment found only in Bideford, Devon, UK. Bideford Black: The Next Generation connects the heritage of the area with the tradition of using it as an artist’s material, commissioning and documenting its use by contemporary artists, developing a greater understanding of this rare material in a contemporary artistic context.
Bideford Black – The Next Generation is a Burton Art Gallery project produced and curated in association with Flow Contemporary Arts and Claire Gulliver. It is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
