Chris Poolman will be running a ‘stick hire service’ for dogs at The Weir Garden. Only these special sticks come with a difference; they are philosophically inclined sticks. Is your dog a deep thinker? Does your dog have existential tendencies or maybe believe in power/knowledge/bones? Visit the stick hire service and have your dog’s portrait taken with their thinking stick.
This event is part of the People, Proposition, Landscape project at The Weir Garden exploring how visitors creatively engage with the landscape.
Chris Poolman collaborates with Elizabeth Rowe as General Public. Occasionally he works on his own too on pet-based artworks.
Please note: This event is free, however you will need to pay an entrance fee to the Garden. Visit The Weir Garden website for more information.
The project is generously funded thanks to support from the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund. It will provide £2.6 billion of funding for local investment by March 2025. The Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK by investing in communities and places and supporting local businesses, people, and skills.
