BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS PROJECT – BRAIN CONTAINER PROJECTOngoing (Autumn 2014)

“Brain Container” is a lit, moving art installation housed in a customised cargo container; a giant interactive light box.
Designed by artist Jo Berry, the piece is made up of a series of thirty-six cast acrylic discs that are hung, lit and rotated
The discs, which feature images of the human brain, are made up of a series of laser cut coloured Perspex panels that have been glued together and then cast in clear acrylic from this series of design drawings.
The artwork has been lit and installed by Blackpool Council’s Illuminations team and forms an exciting new part of this year’s display.
The display is set to music with composer, Angela Slater, having designed the accompanying sound in response to imagery she viewed in Jo’s studio.

Stravinsky Pulcinella: Suite
The first university concert for the year contrasts classical and neo-classical music opening with a sinfonia by the 18th-century Bohemian composer Johann Baptist Vanhal in the 200th anniversary of his death. Ravel’s memorial work written in the style of a Baroque suite was originally written for solo piano with each of the movements dedicated to friends who died in World War I. Postgraduate student Angela Slater was inspired to write her chamber work Blencathra by the Lake District landscape. The programme is completed with Stravinsky’s homage to the 18th-century composer Pergolesi, the Suite from the ballet based on the commedia dell’arte character Pulcinella.
