AFTERNESS
Selected Artists at Orford Ness, Suffolk
01 July 2021 - 30 October 2021
Afterness is Artangel’s first hybrid physical and online exhibition.
The physical exhibition, a series of new commissions by artists working across multiple mediums, takes place on Orford Ness, a windswept strip of land stretching several miles along the Suffolk coast with a unique path of white shingle reaching the North Sea. Protected by the National Trust as a nature reserve since 1995, the Ness is a decommissioned military testing site known locally as the ‘island of secrets’, where research into weaponry and covert radio systems was conducted between the First World War and the Cold War. This will be the first time visitors will discover sited large-scale artworks by artists from the UK shores and beyond at Orford Ness.
A group of artists have made new works created in response to the singular environment and hidden history of Orford Ness, including sculpture, drawing and sound installation. Visitors can follow suggested walking routes that pair the terrain with the new sited and audio artworks available to experience.
