The Art Works
Funding from the Arts Council England,
Test Valley Arts Foundation and the Joint Investment fund has
enabled The Lights to commission artists of national standing to
develop innovative pieces of public art, both on the approaches to
the venue and to enhance the landscaped gardens and the building
itself. Lee Filters and The Lights have also received
an investment from Arts and Business to further develop their
creative partnership.
We are delighted to introduce works by
Malcolm Buchanan-Dick and Caroline Cardus.

Malcolm Buchanan-Dick has produced a "Light Tree", a unique
landmark sculpture sited in the landscaped area at the entrance to
the venue.
This unique piece features 5 screens each capable of displaying
text, pictures or movie clips. At 8 metres high you
will not miss it!

Sited in the foyer of the venue Malcolm
has created a "Light Wall" in conjunction with Lee Filters of
Andover.
Movement sensors built into the wall trigger a lighting
sequence as you pass by - well it is The Lights!

Caroline Cardus has designed
a delightful range of visual and tactile signs which are based
on symbols known to deaf and blind people, and which will help
them navigate around the building. Discrete and artistic they
add a new dimension to an already exciting venue!
