Over two consecutive nights (21st - 22nd October, 6.15 pm - 10.15 pm) a large, hand-drawn animation of a Devon carer and her son will be projected onto the Exeter Phoenix Building as part of a collaborative project to celebrate the millions of unpaid carers who work around the clock looking after their friends and family at home. Research shows their role has been made even harder by the closure of support services during the COVID crisis.

Spotlight on Care is an emotive contemporary art project inspired by a collaboration between Exeter-based illustrator-animator Leo Jamelli and...

But now, a new installation at Killerton in Broadclyst, Devon is offering visitors the chance to travel into the future to 2050 and experience the impact of climate change for themselves.

The first-of-its-kind immersive experience, created through CGI and augmented reality technology, will...

Posted: Fri, 03/31/2017 - 4:54pm

Built up in 1769, burnt out in 2016, the tragedy of the fire at Exeter’s Royal Clarence Hotel has left a scar that’s both physical and psychological in our city.

Yet after destruction comes renewal, a theme that local sculptor Martin Staniforth (known as ‘morth’) is exploring in his creative work.

Martin said: “I’ve noticed that after disaster strikes, often we see nature begin the healing process as tiny plants start to fill the cracks and wasteland left behind. Disaster and renewal are part of the circle of life.”

Now Martin has been allowed to take away over two...

O-B-A-F-G

Event Date: 
15/05/2015 - 6:30pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix Black Box

Examining the tensions between scientific and spiritual beliefs about the 'birth' of matter and our relationship with the earth, O-B-A-F-G is an experimental audio-theatre piece by Ronald Duncan from 1964. As our perceptions of matter and space have changed quite drastically since the early 60s due to the pace of technological developments, this re-imagining of O-B-A-F-G – a collaboration between digital performance company Blind Ditch, arts event NOSE, the Culture and Review Programme and Phonic FM – explores the possibilities offered by current digital technologies to expand...
