Prepare to be dazzled by a stunning art installation that will illuminate Grimsby Minster in a whole new light! 'Helios', a colossal sun sculpture, is set to captivate visitors with its awe-inspiring presence. But this isn't just any ordinary artwork; it's a masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of creativity.
Measuring a staggering 16.4ft across and weighing around 110lbs, this sun-themed installation is a sight to behold. Imagine stepping into the Minster and being greeted by a glowing, larger-than-life depiction of the sun's surface. And here's where it gets even more intriguing: the sculpture is internally lit, creating a mesmerizing ambiance.
But that's not all. The exhibition goes beyond visual appeal. The display will also feature immersive surround sound by renowned artists Duncan Speakman and Sarah Anderson, adding another layer of sensory delight.
Artist Jerram is no stranger to grand installations. His previous work, a captivating display of the Earth, has traveled the globe and even graced Grimsby Minster in 2022 and Lincoln Cathedral in 2024. And if that wasn't impressive enough, he also crafted an installation of the moon, showcasing his versatility.
Now, the public can immerse themselves in this extraordinary exhibition during the Easter holidays and into May. The Culture House promises that Helios is just the beginning of a five-year journey filled with captivating and accessible art experiences in North East Lincolnshire.
With £1.4 million in funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, the Our Future Starts Here program aims to ignite creativity and inspire change in the region.
