News Release Fermynwoods Contemporary Art Tim Simmons: INTERVENTION 8-11 July 2010 Fermyn Woods, Nr Kettering Tim Simmons, INTERVENTION, 2010. Projection Fermynwoods Contemporary Art is pleased to present INTERVENTION, by photographic artist Tim Simmons. Following its success at Suffolk’s Latitude Festival and The London Art Fair, Simmons brings his large-scale projection to the unique setting of the Danish Shelters deep within Fermyn Woods, near Kettering. Working with large-format cameras and artificial lighting to accentuate detail, these stunning images have a surreal, otherworldly quality - in the realms of fantasy and beyond obvious recognition. The large-scale photographic projections, which run in half hour loops, are re-embedded within the natural world that inspired them – the location of the woods itself forms an integral part of the work. Simmons’ work has an inherent connection to the environment and examines the multilayered relationship we have with our surroundings, and how subtle changes to our expectation of a place alter our perception of it. The projection event takes place over three nights from 8-11 July. Booking is essential and refreshments will be served. For more information or to book your place, please contact Paul Denton, General Manager [email protected] or call 01832 733009.
