If you are in the UK this weekend, you might want to check out this event:
An Arts Catalyst event
Artists Airshow
Former Royal Engineering Workshops, Farnborough, Hants
Sunday September 12 1PM-6PM
Free entry by reservation, places are limited so book as soon as possible.
A day of art and flying in and around Europe's largest wind tunnel. Right next to the runway used for the official Farnborough Airshow are the abandoned wind tunnels, test tanks and life-size helicopter flight simulators where secret projects were developed during the second world war and the cold war. Saved from demolition, they will now be developed into a heritage centre and business park.
Selected artists, working with ideas of flight, will present a day of process-based works and experiments for a limited audience, with guided tours of the wind tunnels. These artists include Louise K Wilson, presenting a work based on flight simulation, stunt-flying and Britain's lost technological heritage. Australian artist Zina Kaye will show documentation and talk about her 74cc 3 metre wingspan surveillance airplane 'Observatine'.
Please give names of those attending. You must be on the list of people attending to get on to the site.
