SUNLIGHT is the first major survey of the work of British artist Roger Ackling (1947-2014) and the most significant exhibition of his work to date. For 50 years, Ackling consistently made objects by burning wood - focussing sunlight through the lens of a hand-held magnifying glass to scorch repeated patterns of lines on the surface. SUNLIGHT will introduce Ackling's work to a new generation of audiences, prompting important conversations about the status of the object, the significance of material, the processes of making and the transformative power of display. The exhibition is developed in partnership with the Artist's Estate, Annely Juda Fine Art, the Henry Moore Institute and the Pier Arts Centre, and is supported by Norfolk Museums Service, Arts Council England, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council, East Anglia Art Fund, Henry Moore Foundation, Norwich University of the Arts and Art Fund.

Join us for an illustrated talk with artist Daniel & Clara about their exhibition The Lost Estate, currently on display at Norwich Castle. The Lost Estate is a new photographic series which explores the relationship between humans and the natural world through imagined narratives taking place in the gardens of a country estate. Join the artist for a journey through their creative process and research, including how they took inspiration from the Norfolk landscape and the historic landscape painters in Norwich Castle's collection. Since meeting in 2010 Daniel & Clara have dedicated themselves to a shared life of creative experimentation, working across moving image, photography, performance and mail art to explore the nature of human experience, perception and reality. The camera is their primary tool, working with both digital and analogue, still and moving images, to investigate the role the photographic image plays in how we create meaning and make sense of the world arou

Bookscapes Collective is a group of six artists with a particular focus on working with museums, private collections and at places of historic interest, to create site specific bodies of work with the aim of re-awakening lost or little known histories through a contemporary lens. The Victorian and Regency Music Rooms at Strangers Hall will be the venue for their forthcoming exhibition 'Miscellanea' which explores various aspects of daily life and society during the Golden Age of Discovery and Invention. From celebrating the lives of prominent women writers to the sinister practice of baby farmers, from taxidermy to shell collecting and herbariums, the exhibition weaves a path through the abundantly ornate rooms, through ten individual works which reveal a dark, yet strangely beautiful glimpse of Victorian life.
