An enormous artwork taking over the side of the TWI Technology Centre. With a form inspired by the dazzle camouflage paint installation of HMS Vetch, a Flower-class corvette built by the Smiths Dock Company in Middlesbrough during the 2nd World War, the artwork will feature two giant canaries, a bird often used in mining to signify the presence of toxic gases. HALDANE gives a visual nod to Teesside’s shipbuilding heritage as well as connecting us to our mining past.
This exciting artwork will remain as a permanent feature on the side of TWI Technology Centre, so don’t worry if you don’t get to visit it during the festival!
How to Visit
HALDANE will be visible from a distance – look out for it if you’re on the train between Middlesbrough and Stockton.
If you’d like a closer look, head to TWI Technology Centre. The site is not accessible to public, however the work can be seen from outside of the gates. HALDANE will also be lit out of hours, so feel free to visit and take a look from outside of the gates.
