Eden Project

Shipping container art exhibition lands at Eden

There’s a new addition to Eden’s skyline this spring: a beautifully decorated shipping container that’s been transformed into a temporary art space. The container is one of 15 have that have been dropped at various sites across Cornwall, each showcasing the work of local artists.

Inside ours, visitors can immerse themselves in a continuous wave of sound and light. Eleanor Bell and Matt Hocking’s ‘Wave Hub’ installation (below) is on until 20 March, after which Claire Armitage’s ‘Tate St Ives’ exhibit will take its place (26 March – 25 April). Her collection of gorgeous haboi silk dresses feature designs inspired by the Tate St Ives and its surroundings.

These recycled shipping containers are part of the nine-week Dott Cornwall programme, (standing for Design of the Times). The season celebrates the county’s creativity and ingenuity, exploring how design can help create a more sustainable and inclusive society. Find out more at www.dottcornwall.com
