Nottingham Night Light


The Lighthouse
8th Feb 6-10pm
The Planter/ Albert Street
Outside St Peters Church NG1 7DB


City Council has this allocated this location for the Lighthouse - the car park was too inaccessible and no power. Loz Cliffe now working on the sound component. I have come up with a design using found objects.

The light will be provided by a 30W LED spotlight but whether its competes with urban lighting in the area is to be speculated. About to have to do a test run… will just have to get folks involved with concept in other ways. I want to add sound of foghorns and suspend some groundsheets from the trees to enclose the lighthouse and to cut out some lights from area and display a map of the island. We hope the groundsheets will sound like the sails of ship or the use of polythene sheeting to wrap the trees and create shrine of light.

And if it rains - well thats another story!
