New Antarctic video installations showing at Lumen, part of Winter Shuffle
Lumen is a maze-like exhibition of installations, video, sound, and light, leading visitors through the hidden brooding spaces of St Clement’s Hospital, a former psychiatric hospital and workhouse. A series of exciting and unexpected art interventions marry creativity with resourcefulness, breathing light and sound into the building’s faded Georgian-Victorian grandeur of high ceilings and sweeping staircases.
Artists exhibiting: Tessa Garland, Anne Brodie, Sarah Sparkes, Susan Morris, Juniper Daumier, Paul Insect, Katherine Fry, Bayline Leonard, Anne Robinson, Uliana Apatina
