Colour, light, sound, silence

Now Showing at Cross Lane Projects ✨🎶
‘Colour, Light, Sound, Silence’
by Marcus Vergette & Simon Marsh
Two artists, friends since art school in the 1980s, reunite for the first time in a joint exhibition exploring the elemental forces of light, sound, colour, and texture.
Marcus Vergette creates sculptural bells that speak to time, climate, and community.
Simon Marsh paints and builds fragile constructions inspired by the vivid light of West Cornwall.
Experience painting, sculpture, sound, and reflection — where art meets energy.

Simon Starling: Boat Works

This autumn, Abbot Hall presents Boat Works, a solo exhibition by Turner Prize-winner Simon Starling. Bringing together his major boat-themed projects, the show explores the vessel as a symbol of migration, transformation, and change.
