Field Notes, a site-specific exhibition created in response to the land, architecture, history, and culture of Caithness, Scotland, opened on August 9th, 2019 with a whirlwind event that capped over two weeks of intensive installation. Visitors descended on the small Manse, garden, and Byre to celebrate the work of artists Annie Cattrell, Anne Vibeke Mou, Anne Petters, and Jeff Zimmer. But let’s step back a bit: before the event, before the bagpipers, before the lights were set. Before groans, curses, and aching backs that accompanied the installation of the show, curator Michael Endo arrived to a near empty space. 

Read part three from the series on the Bullseye Projects blog.

Bullseye Projects presents Field Notes at The Byre, a remote complex of stone buildings in the northernmost county of Scotland, which sits amid a hillside pasture overlooking Latheronwheel strath and the North Sea.

Beginning in 2016, The Byre has opened its four distinct spaces - horse barn, cow barn, store room, and hay barn - to artists, who develop work in response to The Byre's unique surrounds. Through a series of site visits and a residency, artists Annie Cattrell, Anne Vibeke Mou, Anne Petters, and Jeff Zimmer have explored iterative, researched approaches to The Byre that first manifested in August 2019 and are evolving over the course of several months.
