INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
Works by many of today’s leading artists, sculptors and land artists have been commissioned and then constructed in situ. The relationship of each artwork with its specific topographical location is a crucial feature of the artland, that is, art within the landscape. Jupiter Artland has charitable status and is committed to providing an educational resource for schools in the region.
The Foundation is also committed to nurturing the work of outstanding contemporary artists. To this end it aims to offer a unique annual residency on an invitation basis and will continue to commission new site specific works. In conception, Jupiter Artland is a continuing work-in-progress.
Here are some great projects:

Tessellated panels of spray painted chrome peeled back to reveal the background colours.
“The forest that we look at reflected in the chrome panels is being peeled away revealing layers of colour. The reflection in the work will change with every season that passes.”

Andy Goldsworthy
Andy Goldsworthy’s four related works explore a different layer in the landscape, and the way a tree penetrates those layers. ‘Stone House’ and ‘Stone Coppice’ explore the space above and below ground. ‘Clay Tree Wall’ explores the surface between the two.
A tree cut down as part of the thinning process in the coppiced wood has been fixed to a wall and covered with clay. The clay was applied wet and cracked as it dried out – the shape and form of the tree dictating the pattern of the fissures. It is stark evidence of the process of change that, whilst present in both the other works, is not so clearly articulated. The process of erosion and movement of soil is one in which people are very much involved. The three works recognise the connection we all have with nature.

Sara Barker
To celebrate this year’s Edinburgh Art Festival, EAF and Jupiter are delighted to be co-commissioners of Sara Barker’s first sculpture to be sited in a landscape. Barker, a Glasgow-based artist who is fast gaining international prominence, creates exquisite structures that echo architectural forms. Made of interlocking forms in glass, brass and stretches of aluminium painted by Barker, Patterns cascades over a plinth of polished concrete fleckled with marble. Its title Patterns, is taken from a poem by the early 20th century American writer, Amy Lowell.

Marc Quinn
‘Love Bomb’ was specially commissioned for Jupiter Artland. The 12-metre-high orchid is the largest work from the series of sculptures, ‘Garden’ (2000), a walk through installation that brought together thousands of flowers frozen ‘forever’ in an impossibly perfect botanical situation.
These series meditate on the human obsession with beauty, and the tragic fact that it is impossible to maintain – a subject, which has long plagued and inspired artists to create something which transcends the flesh to aspire to the eternal. In ‘Love Bomb’ the most modern technologies are used to create a modified flower, at once monstrous and seductively beautiful, to demonstrate the ways in which human desires are now shaping the natural world.

“A friend of mine told me a story about a fantastic tantrum his daughter had had where she was inconsolable whilst at the same time watching herself and the effect she was having in the mirror.
The site I have picked at Jupiter has a quiet melancholic atmosphere and I felt it was the perfect place to introduce some unnecessary drama in the style of the story above. What I have made for Jupiter are 5 little girls dressed up as sculptures in positions of high drama which animate the landscape they inhabit.”
