21st - 31st October / Cambridge / Nightjar
Posted 20/10/2009 by pw.

Starts this week.

This October a new arts programme launches in Cambridge presenting a series of temporary artworks and encounters between the hours of dusk and dawn. As the evenings draw in, Nightjar celebrates the city's long hours of darkness with performances, installation and artist led walks.

Nightjar looks beyond the conventional gallery or theatre space, inhabiting the more unexpected sites of the city. Forgotten and overlooked spaces will come alive with after-dark activities and familiar venues will open their doors out of hours. The programme includes new commissions, which will premiere in Cambridge as well as existing works adapted specifically for their location.

Artists include Luke Jerram, Urban (Col)laboratory, Jonathan Watts, Chris Parsons, Townley & Bradby and Amy Sharrocks.

Nightjar has been initiated by independent curator Jo Mardell.
