We are thrilled to announce that Simon Bayliss has been selected for the second CKA residency at Cove Park!
Simon is a potter, with a background in contemporary art and dance music. His ceramics are mainly made using a wheel in the slipware tradition. Within exhibitions, these have sometimes accompanied video, poetry and performance, referencing queer-rural identity and art histories of St Ives, where he is based. Simon has been invited by Dr Peder Clark to respond to his academic research on the social history of ecstasy use in the UK, culminating in a solo exhibition in Cornwall and Glasgow in 2026. At Cove Park, Simon will be working on a music video and developing the curatorial aspects of the exhibition.
Congratulations Simon!
