See Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings in a different light as artist Andy McKeown hosts a free evening of illuminations and recording.
Andy will be providing an alternative view of the site as he projects his art against the sides of the buildings. You will also have the opportunity to take part in a piece of community art. Read aloud a name of one of the 800 people who used to work at the flaxmill. Recordings of the mill worker’s names will form part of Flaxmill Voices, a unique exhibition to be installed onsite later in the year.
- 4pm to 7pm – Recording of millworkers names.
- From dusk around 5pm to 7pm – Projection of Andy McKeown’s ‘Minutiae’ art series onto the Flaxmill buildings
- 4pm to 7pm – Turned Wood Café serving a light menu and drinks
- 5pm to 7pm – Mill exhibition open free of charge.
Event Free, no need to book tickets
Andy’s projection will feature some of Andy’s work from his ‘Minutiae’ series over a decade ago, before the site was restored in a £28million project, which included £20.7million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The differences between the site then, in a state of abandonment and dilapidation, to now are pronounced.
