Art Collection

536 or, in full, The Admiralty Chart 536 Art Collection is a collection of contemporary art comprising works created by artists residing in, or responding to, the geographical area covered by the Admiralty nautical navigation chart number 536. The chart documents the Strait of Dover and the portion of the British coastline that runs from Beachy Head to Dungeness. Beachy Head is infamous as the most popular suicide spot in the world—by number of jumpers from the cliff-top annually—whilst Dungeness beach is well-known for both the imposing now-decommissioning Dungeness B gas-cooled nuclear power-station, and the late Derek Jarman's home-and-garden Prospect Cottage. The stretch of coast mapped includes Eastbourne, Bexhill, Hastings, Camber Sands, Rye, and the military site Lydd Range. Artists represented in the collection include: Kristina Alexander, Emily Allchurch, Ruth Bullock, Joseph Emilien, Ewan Farr, Fay Godwin, Mark Godwin, Richard Heslop, Terry Hulf, Patrick Adam Jones, Julia García López, Tim Nathan, Alan Rankle, Margaret Roberts, Philip Sanderson, Mick Sargent, Maxine Simmonds, Luke Sothcott, Richard Swann, Dawn Timmins, Alice Walter, and John Edward Wright.
