Artists document disused buildings of Bletchley Park

Posted: 27 Apr 2012 10:10 AM PDT

Station X, MK Gallery's Project Space exhibition during May, offers a multi-sensory insight into the derelict buildings of Bletchley Park, (otherwise known as Station X), the home of the World War Two code-breakers, and arguably one of Britain's most important historical sites. 

The exhibition is the result of a unique collaboration between installation artist Maya Ramsay, sound artist Caroline Devine, photographer Rachael Marshall and film maker Luke Williams.  Together they provide a contemporary interpretation of Station X, by documenting the visual and aural histories imbued in the very fabric of the buildings, before they are lost when planned renovation takes place. This includes work made from surfaces lifted from the walls of the buildings, recordings of sounds produced by and within the decaying buildings, and photographic and filmed documentation of the buildings.

Film Screening and Talk

Thursday 24 May / 6.30pm / Free

Film Screening: 'Stendhal Syndrome' by Alistair Gentry Is traditional art doing something to our minds that contemporary art can't do? Stendhal Syndrome is a recorded performance lecture about the psychiatric/psychosomatic condition in which people are mentally and physically overwhelmed by looking at too much art. Only representational art causes Stendhal Syndrome: abstract, conceptual, installation and other forms of contemporary art have never been known to do so. The Uffizi in Florence, the Louvre in Paris and the Vatican are all prime sites for Stendhal Syndrome.

Writer and artist Alistair Gentry's diverse work has been seen and heard in digital media, on radio, television and the stage, in art galleries, at film festivals, in print and online. He has been included in group exhibitions worldwide, and he is a member of the East Anglian artists' research group Market Project. He researches extensively for his performance works and employs scientific or academic forms and methods  

Talk: Evolution of the paranormal'Why we may have extraordinary abilities' by Dr. Richard Broughton.

Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Northampton and President of the Society for Psychical Research, Dr Broughton is the author of numerous scientific papers and a critically acclaimed popular book on parapsychology. He frequently serves as a commentator in television programs on parapsychology and intuition issues, most recently appearing with Tony Robinson in a Channel 4 documentary. His principal research areas are anomalous intuition and the emotional underpinnings of extrasensory phenomena.
