A series of colourful and inspiring artworks are to brighten up Northamptonshire's waterways.

Steve Messam has created a series of spire forms, which will be located outside the historic market town of Oundle along the River Nene in September.

Meanwhile Jo Fairfax has created a light display using a combination of LED lighting, digital film production and lasers, which will light up the county's water towers.

The artworks, part of the Flow exhibition, are part of the East Midlands Igniting Ambition Festival and the UK's Cultural Olympiad.

The festival is aimed at inspiring people in the county while the Cultural Olympiad was set up to give everyone in the UK a chance to be part of London 2012 and inspire creativity across all forms of culture.

Arts Council England is a principal funder of the Cultural Olympiad. Find out more at london2012.com/cultural-olympiad.

A rather sad headstone. Maybe he came to the UK as a refugee during WWII; perhaps a bit too old to have served in the German Army and been a POW here. Any guesses as to what 'A A' might mean?

sign for town of Caribou Minnesota
Caribou, Minnesota, a town unlikely to be visited by Annie's van, by Andrew Filer, www.flickr.com/photos/afiler/226351163/
Annie Atkinson has taken the concept of a temporary exhibition one stage further. Hers is "permanent" but in a vehicle which moves. From time to time.
Annie has recently opened up a shop called Caribou inside a small vintage caravan, said vehicle currently in Hopkinson's Gallery on Station Street. Yes, I mean INSIDE (did you think I meant on the street?  have you tried to park on Station Street recently?).
As she wrote in her email:
The idea of the shop is that it is able to travel around the country and pop-up in places that normally you'd not be able to buy art, and handmade items, and in doing so spreads word of artists work and help to build their reputation. It sells fanzines sent in from people from all over the world, art books, handmade jewellery, vintage restored pieces, re-vamped ceramics and handmade books.
Hopkinson's Gallery is well worth a visit in its own right (although their website is a bit out of date). The doors are open Monday to Saturday 9-5. Caribou will remain in Hopkinson's Gallery for the time being. Annie's website shows a variety of her stock – one interior view of the caravan is below.
Get a moose on down to Station Street.
