A Victorian fort, built to deter a French invasion of the south coast, is the inspiration for a range of installations and interventions created by six artists.
About

Audiences will be able to explore this rarely open site through the artists' responses to the space, experiencing a sense of place through sculptural installations, sound and projections Each work will enhance, highlight, or disrupt the integrity of the building.
