As an ongoing project with Fermynwoods Contemporary Art, a group of Key Stage 3 students from the William Knibb Complementary Education Centre worked with 6 Contemporary Artists over the 2010-2011 academic year, exploring Fermyn Woods through their understanding of each of the Artist’s practice.

The Artists were:
Kenneth James Martin (Large Format Photography)
Rebecca Lee (Sound)
Kate Dyer & Lorraine Dziarkowska from Corby Community Arts (Digital Photography)
Simon Woolham (Film)
Susie Turner (Printmaking)

The exhibition presents the resulting work by the students, in the form of photography, photobooks, sound, video, drawing, and a variety of printmaking techniques.

PRIVATE VIEW: TUESDAY 6 MARCH 2012, 5 – 7 PM

EXHIBITION RUNS UNTIL FRIDAY 30 MARCH 2012, 10AM – 8PM

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:

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