Acclaimed British artist and NESTA Fellow Jo Fairfax and his team present HERO, a free laser-light art installation within the Grade I listed park at Boughton House, Kettering:

25-26 February and 3-4 March 2012 from 6.30 – 8.30 PM.

HERO is the latest in a series of installations and events as part of FLOW, the outdoor contemporary visual arts programme across Northamptonshire.

Laser beams will be centrally aligned above the canalised River Ise which runs through the parkland,
the sharp horizontal lines complementing the geometry of the 300 year old waterscape designed by
Dutch landscape gardener Van der Meulen, creating some beautiful reflections and intriguing visual
perspectives for the visitor.

For further information please contact:

Graham Callister, Northamptonshire County Council
T: 01604 236909

This follows a growing series of FLOW events, including Fermynwoods’ Interchange project on the Grand Union Canal and River Nene.

Three Artist-led walks over the summer with Sue Stewart, Alison Lloyd and Rebecca Lee are open to bookings now.
