Join us for an evening for colourful interaction and music inspired by the exhibition Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today.

Play with coloured light in our interactive Lighting Lab. Create interesting shadows and try colour mixing at this special session led by light and sound artist Kathrine Sandys. Experiment with lighting gels with their own unique titles and catalogue numbers, and mix light to create new hues.

Become completely immersed in the sound of Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing #1136 as composer and sound artist Wil Bolton plays live in the gallery. Bolton combines electronic tones with processed acoustic sounds including field recordings and musical instruments. In the spirit of Sol LeWitt's use of seriality and arbitrary systems, Bolton uses the work as an inspiration and graphic score, mapping the seven spectrum colours onto the corresponding notes on coloured chime bars to produce an electro-acoustic composition. Experience the resulting elongated drones layered with field recordings made within the gallery and surrounding area as Bolton plays live.

Enjoy a play list of genre-hopping tunes from the last half century inspired by Colour Chart. Expect the tenuous, the direct, the corny, but not the obvious. Mixed by Mike Stout.
