Five2Watch: Light and Projection


Axisweb has selected five artworks featuring contemporary artists using light and projection in their work: Sophie Bullock, Laura Johnston, Antony Hall, Tony Humbleyard and Gillian Hobson


PARADOXPARADOX, 2016

Sophie Bullock

Over five days, Protovoulia and nine invited artists from Greater Manchester merged together in full experimentation-mode through a collaborative long-durational creative process. Spending eight hours a day inside HOME's exhibition gallery (open to the public), the artists, from the worlds of visual art, dance, theatre and music developed a series of actions, experimentations and improvised installations, performances and screenings.

A series of installations will be created by the artist in 2016-17 that explore the theme of light and sensation. Supported by the Arts Council, this projects links the artist with biomedical scientists and academics at Durham University to explore how light can change how we feel. The artist will alter the atmosphere and experience of a range of public spaces, including hospitals and hospices and examine the impact on experience.
