Another Dimension is an outdoor photography exhibition, inviting visitors to creatively encounter the darkness of a winter night during the summer months.

About

Supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, this is an exhibition of 11 large-scale photographs, suspended in the forest. Part of the Skyspace trail and created in partnership with Kielder Observatory, it includes images of stargazers, astronomy-related objects and immersive Kielder nights.

The exhibition leads to James Turrell’s Skyspace and Kielder Observatory, both part of the Kielder Art and Architecture Trail.

Catherine Johns, CEO Kielder Observatory, said: “Kielder Observatory has worked in partnership with Helen for several years and her uniquely creative art helps bring new audiences and new experiences to our dark skies and explores how they inspire us. We’re delighted to have a new exhibition on the walk to the observatory.”

Alex MacLennan, Recreation, Public Affairs Manager Northumberland, Forestry England, said: “This project is another great example of how people engage with the dark skies of Northumberland International Dark Sky Park which was created in 2013. We are thrilled to be working with Helen and Sunderland University nine years on in a new way to engage and showcase Kielder and this project will be really popular with visitors walking or cycling up to Skyspace and onto Kielder Observatory.”

The exhibition is on show until the 30 September. See visitor information here.

Helen is keen to hear what visitors think of the exhibition and welcome comments through social media: @visitkielder #kielderdarkskies or via email

The work is generously supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council's National Productivity Investment Fund.
