Sensory Systems

12 Sep-7 Nov 2015

Overview

Starting this year the Grundy Art Gallery begins a major new programme of exhibitions and commissions incorporating the broad theme of light, which will occur annually to coincide with Blackpool’s Illuminations, which takes place in the town every autumn. For 2015, the gallery presents ‘Sensory Systems’, a substantial new exhibition bringing together works by internationally acclaimed artists interested in the technology and science of light and how this can be deployed and shaped to affect our perceptual experience of space. Whether through sculpture, projection or immersive architecture each artwork in ‘Sensory Systems’ invites a dialogue or interaction with the viewer, utilising colour, pattern, movement and other techniques to evoke a variety of spatial and sensory experiences.
