YEAR two of Signal Film and Media's highly innovative digital arts programme has opened with Platform, featuring artist Will Kendrick's exciting Viking-inspired contemporary exhibition.
That Hall is Woven of Serpent’s Spines includes large-scale sculpture, video projection and sound, mixing together references of both the natural and man-made world, and runs at Barrow-based Signal's Cooke’s Studios, at 104 Abbey Road, until August 3.
Blackpool-born Will's new exhibition considers how Barrow is linked to Nordic vikings, through artefacts recently unearthed that suggest Vikings at least came ashore, if not had settlements in the region.
The theme for Platform - which follows on from Signal's successful 2017 Lost Stations project - is Interconnectivity, titled Under the Same Sky.
Free creative workshops will also take place, drawing inspiration from the exhibition, led by the guest artist and Cumbrian-based artist Julia Parks, the next on Saturday, July 21.
Additionally, there will a series of family-friendly, drop-in workshops each Saturday from 11am-5pm during the exhibition run.
The exhibition is open Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11am-6pm, 7pm Thursdays.
