The island of Inch Kenneth and its extraordinary house welcomed artist collective 6°WEST in June 2011 for an artists’ residency. The name 6°WEST indicates the geographical location of where the five members meet and their aim of creating a sixth space for collaboration and to generate new ideas. This sixth space could be a person, process, place, object or organisation. Fundamental to the group’s identity is a convergence to make art in response to this distinctive landscape and culture. Artist members of the collective Anne Devine, David Faithfull, Mhairi Killin, Veronica Slater and curator Alicia Hendrick were ferried from Mull to the island to explore and to spend time in residence at Inch Kenneth House.
