Dutch/Light (for Agneta Block)
Chatham Historic Dockyard 29 May–3 August 2017
Turner Contemporary 12 August–5 November
Commissioned by Turner Contemporary and Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.
Dutch/Light is a new installation drawing upon the ingenuity of early Anglo-Dutch glasshouse technology. Made of edge-lit Plexiglas and re-purposed timber from Chatham Dockyard the work is activated by sunlight to create a pavilion of geometric colour. Dutch/Light is commissioned to mark the 350th anniversary of the Dutch Raid on the River Medway, a naval incident which brought an end to the Anglo-Dutch wars.
Presented in collaboration with Culture Kent.
