About

Spectrum Arts Collective is creating INTERMISSION this summer – a new way to experience contemporary art in Louth.

INTERMISSION is the first project from new creative collective – visual artist Jayne Cooper, sound artist Keith Angel and producer Lucy Lumb, all based in Louth, Lincolnshire.

The purpose built artwork installation will pop-up on Saturdays in busy places around Louth in late June and early July, as part of Louth Festival – Zero Degrees. It takes the form of a 3D structure with painted surfaces, wearable collage and soundscapes.

Our starting point was the delightful and long-standing tradition of the mid-way interval in all the films shown at Louth Playhouse Cinema. This represents a pause or break from what’s come before, a magical space of imagining what comes next and ‘what’s around the bend?’. INTERMISSION is a place to pause during your busy day. You can view, listen and think, move around and get up close for an unusual encounter with artworks with sound! Alongside new artworks by the artists, INTERMISSION will incorporate sound and collage made by local families, children and young people in creative sessions held in schools and public places.
