Every story, however hidden, leaves a trace… The objects we leave behind, speak fragile broken sentences to those who come across them later. Have you ever stood in a museum and longed to make contact with those stories, by touching the objects so tantalisingly close behind the glass? Or wandered through a dilapidated and empty house, wishing you could see it as the last inhabitants left it?
‘Traces’ is a new concept in showcasing the very best Art and Design. An exciting, immersive, public event, inspired by the history of the building in which it is situated. Painstakingly researched, ‘Traces,’ is a combination of theatrical design, history, and the very latest gorgeous and evocative art and design, which maps and elaborates on the stories of the actual former inhabitants of the building, bringing it back to life with smells, tastes, touches and sounds of an age gone by. The audience are invited to come along and discover these histories for themselves; wandering through the rooms left as if only a moment before, and unpicking their secrets. Interacting with the specially commissioned and selected art and design pieces to unravel clues about the building and its inhabitants., whilst also having the opportunity of buying their favourite ones at the end of the show.
‘Traces’ aims to give the very newest up and coming artists and designers a way to reach the industry and the public. And the public a new way to experience art and design. A combination of theatre, history, scandal, intrigue, and the very latest gorgeous and evocative design, it will be a great way to discover new talent.
A series of clues will be sent out in the run up to the event in order for you to piece together the location, era and characters. If you want to be notified when these clues are available please sign up to the
