Adam Sutherland (1958, UK) is from an arts practice background. He is currently the director of Grizedale arts, a residency driven organisation based on a remote farm in the Lake District of England. The programme works both very locally being a part of the fabric of the immediate community and on an international level with many projects around public art, the rural and function and use within visual art practice. The organisation aims to make art and artists useful to society in the practical, everyday and ordinary.
