Art gallery to be filled with technicolour display

An exhibition will turn an art gallery into a space filled with technicolour projections.

The Microworld exhibition will be on display at Ferens Art Gallery, Hull, from 24 May until 7 September.

Artworks created by Genetic Moo and inspired by sea creatures, nature and science would fill the venue with bright colours and ambient sounds, the gallery said.

Claire Longrigg, exhibitions officer at the gallery, said visitors would also be encouraged to join in, with children able to dress up as scientists in a Microlab.

She said: "We expect this colourful, engaging and interactive exhibition to be popular with all ages.

"We have planned a broad range of events inspired by the exhibition including artist-led workshops, under-fives sessions, SEN and relaxed events, coding, dance and craft workshops."

There will also be a sensory play area to explore and study unusual creatures from the exhibition, as well as craft activities, including print-making with artist Fraser Briggs.
