29 June - 3 July 2004
The premiere of a new video work, exploring the social and historical significance of bells, through sound. At the end of the Foot & Mouth epidemic in 2001, on the first day that movement restrictions were lifted in the parish of Highampton, Devon, the church bells rang a peal all day, for the first time in six months. Artist and farmer, Marcus Vergette, based close by, was 'Case 66' in the Foot & Mouth crisis. This is his third work made in response to FMD and its aftermath.
