SUMMARY:Made In Wood
DESCRIPTION:#MADEINWOOD \n\n\n\nMade in Wood was a collaborative exhibition and research event between staff and Architecture students from Nottingham Trent University and Bergen Academy of Art and Design\, Norway (KHiB). \n\n\n\nThe exhibition formed out of discussions with KHiB in relation to the annual Bergen International Wood Festival. \n\n\n\nTaking inspiration from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities\, the students addressed how global cities seem to challenge the laws of gravity\, with soaring skyscrapers that compete to reach imposing heights. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the video above to see the city of wood take form in the Gallery. \n\n\n\nThe Gallery was split into three distinctive districts overlooked by a bridge; each district depicted a different interpretation of a city scape. \n\n\n\nThe Bridge\n\n\n\nBuilt to overlook the city\, the bridge provided a focal point from all areas. An atmosphere of power and superiority was portrayed\, contrasting with the ghetto below. \n\n\n\nThe Ghetto\n\n\n\nSituated to the left of the bridge\, this district represented the need for housing in built-up areas; how nationalities come together to build communities out of whatever can be found. A tight\, enclosed atmosphere was created by the narrow spaces and multiple routes through the district. \n\n\n\nIndustry\n\n\n\nAs you looked to the right of the bridge this area was built to represent the historical industrial background of both Nottingham and Bergen and many cities around the world. It portrayed a ‘gritty’ atmosphere that was present before modern technology took over. \n\n\n\nLights of the Modern City\n\n\n\nPlaced at the rear of the Gallery\, this district represented the growth of the modern city and how lighting from it can impact on surrounding areas. It drew particular attention to how imposing modern structures can be. The lighting creates a spiritual atmosphere and futuristic feel\, acting as a beacon for all in the city. \n\n\n\nDownload a copy of the Made in Wood student brief \n\n\n\nThe wood used in this exhibition was kindly donated by John A. Stephens of Lady Bay\, Nottingham. \n\n\n\nInstagram Takeover #MADEINWOOD\n\n\n\nFor the duration of the Made in Wood exhibition we handed over our Instagram account to the students from Bergen and NTU\, for them to create a visual diary of their experience. Check out their story on the Bonington Gallery Instagram feed. \n\n\n\n			\n\n				\n					\n				\n				Installation view. Courtesy of the artist. Photo: Mike Kane.\n			\n				\n				Installation view.
