The tunnel leading to Headrow House is transformed into a reflective light display.  This installation, featuring a suspended disco ball, makes a poignant statement mourning the closure of almost 50% of our nightclubs since 2020.

New works inspired by the British Library and Leeds Art Gallery collections.

Furnace Fruit debuts new artworks created especially for Leeds Art Gallery, which consider themes of labour, migration, memory and empire. The exhibition takes as its starting point the story of migrant labourers from Punjab, including members of Panesar’s own family, who came to the UK and found themselves working in automotive foundries in the 1950s and 1960s.

The Lumens embody everything that is alien, unusual and exotic. Four legged, on stilts and wearing mirrored suits, they are covered in colour changing fibre optic lights. Their movement is robotic, their manner, interested, and they are a rich feast for the eyes.

Giant illuminated creatures, part caribou, part spirit, roam a mystical world after dark, accompanied by a wild herdsperson. With music, song and shadow puppets, they tell stories of lost homes, impossible migrations and seeds of hope.
