Had the very great pleasure of a windy, dark walk on the beach yesterday at Blyth, to see a new artwork from Jamie Allen and Laura Harrington at Culture Lab, Newcastle. The walk was stunning- stunningly cold, but also stunningly evocative, with the flash of a distant lighthouse to throw a beam onto the murky water and shifting sand. The artwork itself was as described, subtle and understated and really true to the categorisation as a time based piece, showing glowing LED bars embedded in solid, Nordic beach huts. Standing with a crowd of other artists, I enjoyed their presence too as outlines and shadows, each investigating the lights differently, and obscuring them in strange ways. The orange glow over the sand dunes also intrigued me and I’ve taken some for a Flickr upload when I get the chance. I recommend a visit, after dark…
