These include such moments as when Elsie Howey hid in the venue's organ to shout "Votes for Women" in 1909, the performers who waited outside a 2nd story external door to come on stage, and to Ella Fitzgerald's performance in the hall in 1961.

Combining an interest in capturing sound in movement and working with exquisite detailing and colour, Brothwell draws on her training in metalwork and her interest in heritage and how objects hold memory to create her first UK permanent public commission.

The Raja was an extremely influential religious and political thinker, he coined the word “Hinduism” as a term for the diversity of Indian religions and wrote extensively on religious and social matters. He stressed the importance of education for Indians, campaigned for women’s rights and worked to end the traditional practice of sati: the burning of widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands.

Bristol's home-grown and anonymous graffiti artist Banksy is known all across the world for his satirical, anti-establishment and thought-provoking street art. Several pieces remain in various locations around Bristol, so you can see his amazing work first hand. Banksy’s Frogmore Street artwork is actually on the side of a sexual health clinic, with the best view from the small bridge on Park Street that crosses Frogmore Street. Since its creation, the work has been shot at with a blue paintball gun. There are many different theories as to who was behind this...   You may also like More Bristol Street Art Banksy Walking Tour Banksy and other street art hotspots in Bristol How to have a Banksy-themed weekend in Bristol   Take me back to the Visit Bristol home page

Hollow (2016) is a an immersive artwork by Katie Paterson and architects Zeller & Moye, in association with the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Bristol. Commissioned to mark the opening of the £56.5million Life Sciences building, it was produced by Bristol-based public art producers, Situations.

Made up of 10,000 individual tree samples from across the globe, Hollow is a compendium of the world's forests - designed to inspire wonder at the evolution of trees through time and the fragility of life on our planet.

The exterior structure of Hollow is made up of Douglas Fir and is inspired by a forest canopy, with the arrangements of posts representing the varying heights of trees.

Visitors are invited to step inside the sculpture via a small opening. Inside, we stand in a meditative space, surrounded by thousands of untreated wooden pieces, conjoined to form an immense cosmos of wooden stalactites. Natural light falls through apertures in the ceiling, mimicking the way dappled sunlight passes through trees in a forest.

The collection of wood samples, amassed by Katie Paterson over a three-year period, spans millions of years. From the oldest tree in the world to some of the youngest and near-extinct species, the tree samples contain within them stories of the planet's history and evolution through time.

Katie Paterson

The relationship between Hollow and the Life Sciences building is important; they both explore different but complementary ways to engage with and examine nature.

The Life Sciences building, which was opened by Sir David Attenborough in 2014, is the University's biggest capital project to date and serves as a multi-disciplinary interactive hub for biologists, biochemists, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians and Earth scientists.

Dr. Jon Bridle is an evolutionary biologist who worked on the project. His research focuses on how quickly populations can evolve to cope with changes in their environment, and so potentially avoid extinction.

John Bridle

Katie Paterson on working with academics at the University

Katie Paterson

Katie Paterson (b. 1981, Scotland) is widely regarded as one of the leading artists of her generation. Collaborating with scientists and researchers across the world, Paterson's projects consider our place on Earth in the context of geological time and change.

Katie's artworks make use of sophisticated technologies and specialist expertise to stage intimate, poetic and philosophical engagements between people and their natural environment. In the past, she has broadcast the sounds of a melting glacier live to a visitor on a mobile phone in an art gallery, mapped all the dead stars by compiling a slide archive of the history of darkness across the ages, custom-made a light bulb to simulate the experience of moonlight, and buried a nano-sized grain of sand deep within the Sahara desert.

Katie Paterson was winner of the Independent's Creative 30 award 'for Britain's most creative young person' and has won 2014 South Bank Sky Arts Award. In 2013, she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship at Edinburgh University in recognition of her 'major contribution in fostering collaboration between the arts and sciences'.

Zeller and Moye

Christoph Zeller and Ingrid Moye founded Zeller & Moye as an architectural studio that operates with an interdisciplinary and global approach, with bases in Mexico City and Berlin. The studio established a unique working method of extensive experimentation for the development of a project in order to articulate meaningful proposals for the contemporary world. Zeller & Moye has designed a wide range of projects at all scales from furniture design to large cultural buildings in different parts of the world.

Location and access

Royal Fort Gardens, Tyndall Avenue, BS8 1TH UK

Hollow is permanently located in the south-eastern corner of Royal Fort Gardens, to the right of the Tankard's Close entrance to the gardens. The gardens can also be accessed via the entrance on Tyndall Avenue, just follow the path to the other side of the gardens.

Royal Fort Gardens are open every day of the year and the interior of Hollow is open during daylight hours. Opening times may vary during the summer months and holidays are at the discretion of the University.

There is level access into Royal Fort Gardens and the area around the sculpture. The entrance is narrow with a low step inside. The ﬂoor, which comprises fossil fragments, is uneven. The interior is naturally lit and therefore may be dim on cloudy days or at dusk. We would advise only one or two people at a time enter Hollow to fully experience the work.

Hollow In Conversation (9 May 2016, Soundcloud). In this conversation chaired by Dr Edson Burton, Katie Paterson and architects Zeller & Moye describe how Hollow was created. The artists are joined by Dr Jon Bridle, from the School of Biological Sciences.

Suicide Sculpture Jacob's Wells Road, Hotwells, Bristol

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A new statue has appeared in Bristol city centre - but mystery surrounds it.

The new sculpture on Jacob's Wells Road, in Brandon Hill, shows a person wearing a hoodie with the hood up while holding their head in their hands.

It is not possible to see the person's face, but their posture seems to express unhappiness or even distress - explaining why they are being comforted by a teddy bear.

The sculpture - which is being kept in place by a metal chain and padlock - appeared overnight and many seem to think it marks World Suicide Prevention Day, which is today (Thursday, September 10).

Located towards the top of Jacob's Wells Road and close to the Triangle, the piece has been placed in a nook overlooking the road by the bridge linking Upper Berkeley Close to West End car park.

The sculpture has already attracted the attention of many passers-by - with many stopping and taking a picture - and speculation has started on social media as to who the artist is.

One theory is that the sculpture is the latest piece by an artist whose works have appeared across Bristol in the past few years.

Back in 2018, a statue of an elderly lady holding her handbag and a hammer was put up in front of Age UK's offices in Victoria Street.

The 10-foot tall statue, which depicted an old woman with a hammer in her right hand, was also put up overnight and in time for the busy morning commute.

Nicknamed Rebel Ruth, the elderly lady had the words OAP written in the front, and the name Ruth scrawled on the back.

The artist is also believed to be behind a number of angels that popped up around the city a couple of years ago, including one outside the BRI hospital and in the Bearpit, when they said their aim was to "foster a different attitude".

According to the latest data released by the NHS, the South West has the second-highest suicide rate among men in the nine English regions, with 19.4 deaths per 100,000 in 2019 against 16.7 for England as a whole.

The suicide rate among females in the South West was little over a quarter of that level, with 4.9 per 100,00 in 2019 against 5.2 for England as a whole.

The latest figures from the Office National Statistics (ONS) reports 5,316 suicides were registered in 2019, 295 more than in 2018 when there were 5,021 deaths.
