City Walls light up at night
Derry based contemporary visual artists Pascale Steven and Conor McFeely have been working on a joint project "Pause/Timeslip". It wasÌýcommissioned by theÌýVoid Gallery, recently included in the Guardian'sÌýbest small galleries in the British Isles.
TheÌýhusband and wife team worked from home,Ìýthey told me earlier, so they could collaborate and look after their children.
They have created two light based works which are going to be projected onto a section of the Walls in Guildhall Square.Ìý
"Pause" by Pascale is text based (that's part of it below)
Ìý
ÌýwhileÌýConor's piece "Timeslip" (that's a projection of it below) is a 10 minute video of a sleeping child. Ìý
"A giant sleeping child" he said. It's his first public art work and says he's found the experience strange, seeing his work outside of the four walls of the art gallery, with no "sheet of theory".Ìý
The official launch is tonight butÌýthey did do a dry run last night.ÌýIt seems their nearly four hundred year "canvas" looked great.
If you're in the city over the next few days head down to Guildhall Square anytime between 9pm and 12am.
