WE ARE HULL, UK City of Culture, 2017
The Ferens Art Gallery doesn't usually look like this.
This is the first, and most central, of the visual displays for the launching week of Hull's big year as UK City of Culture. It portrays the epic story of the last 70 years - although it might be nearer 80. This site included projections onto the three blocks surrounding Queen Victoria Square. From the Made in Hull website;
"A celebration of our city, in pictures on buildings. Curated by Sean McAllister, written by Rupert Creed. See the city like you’ve never seen it before. Join us on a spectacular trail where the streets speak and buildings tell stories.
Our opening event, to which everyone is invited, will use large-scale projection on buildings, illuminated skylines, soundscapes, shop windows and live performance to celebrate the last 70 years of life in the city.
Staged across the city centre, Made in Hull tells the story of our city in surprising and stunning ways through a series of commissions by local and international artists. From the devastation of the Second World War, through the good times and the hard times, this is an exploration of Hull’s heritage and its characters at work and play."
