Neville Gabie

Neville is developing new work for the Biennial. From the middle of February, he will be traveling to Greenland to 'harvest' a three ton block of ice, which will be shipped to Liverpool and relocated at Tatton Park. His experiment will continue in the grounds as he attempts to keep his ice frozen for five months within a bespoke unit employing solar panels and cool water.
