Carabosse are one of France’s most important street arts groups, transforming streets and parks into flickering artworks that remind us of one of our most basic and elemental human needs. This installation runs Thurs – Sat only, 6.30pm – 9.30pm. Sponsored by
KICKS 4 TEENAGE Deepa Mann-Kler
STITCH IN TIME 6 A Tim Etchells (UK)
(Northern Ireland) New commission BT Exchange Building
New commission Rosemount Shirt Factory
One of the most successful bands ever to come out of Derry, the Undertones spoke to a generation, reacting against the backdrop of the Troubles by writing songs that reflected on the normality of growing up, of being young and in love. Deepa Mann-Kler’s Teenage Kicks quotes a line from one their most celebrated songs.
Tim Etchells’ steel letters adorned with hundreds of LED lights will measure 23m long. The wording makes a playful but direct reference to the historical context of shirtmaking. It recalls the complete text of the proverb from which it is taken (A Stitch In Time Saves Nine), suggesting ideas of repair and care, and of disaster averted.
Commissioned in collaboration with City of Culture 2013

Rising up to 14 metres high above the ground, Symphonie Conique creates a surreal universe of illuminated cones that move and sway in reaction to the crowd. Sponsored by

The children were filmed during the workshops, and the final projection will include footage of them working together as well as their artworks. Sponsored by

Centre (N. Ireland) New commission City Walls, Grand Parade
Krzysztof Wodiczko (Poland / USA) New commission Various locations
The Empty Plinth will be the first of a series of installations to be mounted on Walker’s plinth. Consisting of a simple beam of light, it will rise into the sky, a symbolic beacon of hope.
Wodiczko is renowned for his large-scale projections around the world. His work often involves the active participation of a city’s marginalised or estranged residents. For this new commission, he has been working with community groups and the Verbal Arts Centre to create a mobile artwork that will project testimonies of local people onto the sides of buildings.

10 VOYAGE Novak (UK) New commission Austins Department Store
This piece explores an effect known as ‘regional brain conflict’, it manipulates the connection between the parts of the brain that process written words and the parts that process colour. The installation sees the colours of the Tricolour and the Union Jack spelled out in different colours, causing confusion and questioning the allegiances the flags engender. Part of the Brilliant commissioning scheme for local artists
This large-scale projection, inspired by Jules Verne, will see the exterior of the oldest department store in the world transformed by a breathtaking digital projection. Featuring a bespoke score by composer Ed Carter.
