    Over the dark winter nights, our site is illuminated by outdoor artworks that play with light and colour – explore to discover them all.

    Each artist uses light and colour in playful ways, at the same time exploring topics at the forefront of society, such as individual and collective identity, the environment and technology.

    Find them as you wander, or consult our map to find them. The best time to visit, it goes without saying, is after dark, but you can see them whenever we’re open.

    The exhibition features work by David Batchelor, Jakob Kvist, David Ogle, Fred Tschida, Tim Etchells, Leo Villareal, Marinella Senatore, Kendall Geers, Squire & Partners with Oasis Academy Johanna and Denman+Gould with Maeve Polkinhorn.
