Alison Turnbull - Trellis

Point Patterns: Alison Turnbull, Dr Elsa Arcaute, Hugo Glendinning

This film explores the partnership built between the artist Alison Turnbull and Elsa Arcaute, Associate Professor at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis. Alongside new drawings, the pair worked together with dancer Sara Ruddock and filmmaker Hugo Glendinning to create a film.

In their project Point Patterns, Alison's work explores movement in response to Elsa's research data on cities as fractals.

Commissioned as part of the UCL Trellis project. Trellis was a public art and community engagement project which partnered researchers from UCL with artists local to, or connected to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where UCL will be opening a new campus, UCL East, in 2023.

Trellis was conceived by Sam Wilkinson, Head of Public Art at UCL, Lizzy Baddeley, UCL East Community and Engagement Manager and Curator Rosie Murdoch.
