Swedish artist Kerstin Bergendal was commissioned by Willis Newson art agency in Bristol to collaborate with award winning architects Penoyre & Prasad and Landscape Architects Enzygo on the landscape design for a new 69 bed dementia care home, in Greville, Bristol. Greville care home will be run by Ashley House and Brunelcare – Bristol Dementia Care Home Partnership - on behalf of Bristol City Council. In keeping with the Council’s public art policy, in 2016 a budget for the development of a public art strategy and commissions programme was agreed by Bristol City Council, to involve artists in the design and thinking of these spaces. Kerstin Bergendal was invited in summer of 2016, and her indicative drawings were completed in late 2016, and published in 2017 along with the formal building applications from Ashely House. The artists project is planned to be further developed and realized in 2018, in collaboration with the above partners. When working on a site specific project, Bergendal maps the present of a given place and draws out an existing knowledge, or ”lived experience” from locals, as well as from professionals, related to the site. New discursive platforms eventually grows out of this exchange, and through these Bergendal identify, support and cultivates an existing local agency, as well as improve conditions for local change. Bergendal has elaborated landscape designs in close collaboration with landscape architect Steve Frazier from Enzygo, and the Danish architect M C Trabut – Jørgensen. The design has grown out of dialogues with neighbors to the new care home, staff of the care home providers Brunelcare, from architechts Penoyre & Prasad, and contractor, Midas in Bristol. Through this durational process, Bergendal have identified the need for a specific outdoor dementia care planning. As a proptotype for this missing function, Bergendal proposes a focal shelter, adapted specifically for social activites for residents with dementia. These focal shelters would offer a goal for a stroll in the garden – something to do. But in addition this opens for linking the outside closer with the inside, as well as for differentiating the different parts of the garden to new possibilities for co-production and co-habitation with others than the residents - their relatives, their neighbors and local cultural association.
