SIGNAL Film and Media is inviting audiences to its new exhibition which saw great success at its launch.
The exhibition explores the connections between the urban centre of Barrow with the diverse Furness coastline as part of new digital art programme TIDAL.
Artists, communities and environmental groups worked in a variety of Barrow locations to investigate what the coast means to people - and the planet.
It showcases the work of artists Jack Brown, Ellie Hoskins and Dr David Haley in collaboration with children from Chetwynde School.
You and Me, Outside is the first of a series of artworks produced for TIDAL created by Manchester-based artist, Jack Brown, who worked with year 10 pupils during February and March to explore Roanhead, South Walney Nature Reserve and the slag bank, creating family-friendly interactive artworks including karaoke, sound pipes and more.
Central to the exhibition is a new set of sculptures by Jack Brown whose work is inspired by ‘the things that should be given more than a passing glance; moments that would benefit from magnification’.
Cumbrian-born artist Elllie Hoskins' micro-commission Fly on the Wall is a playful interaction between animation, text and sculpture which drifts between sincere and poetic language, and humour.
The overall narrative considers everyday domestic habits and how they impact on our ability to go out, into and enjoy nature.
EQUINOX: a day with an ocean’s edge is a digital art piece by artist and researcher Dr David Haley who uses the dynamic tide systems around his home on Walney for his film installation where visitors experience the tide's twelve hour cycle.
The artwork is soundtracked with a recorded performance between David and young Cumbrian Jess Dandy.
There will be artist talks by Jack Brown and David Haley on April 21.
The exhibition is open from Wednesday-Saturday, 10am-4pm until April 29 at Cooke’s Studios, Abbey Road, Barrow.
There is lift access available between floors and there will be hot drinks available for purchase.
