Where Clouds Are Made... By Rachel Barbaresi And Susanna Round

‘What?! No more Didcot cooling towers?! But that’s where clouds are made!
(Or so generations of Oxfordshire children are told.)’ Will Wiles on Twitter 19.11.12

This exhibition explores the power station’s role over the last 40 years in people’s memories and imagination. The gallery hosts an interactive installation which responds to archive material, conversations with employees, ex-employees and residents, and is inspired by the relations of scale between the town and power plant.

Barbaresi and Round are working in residence at Didcot Power Station A during the first part of 2013, in a project funded by RWE Npower and managed by South Oxfordshire District Council’s Arts Development Office.

Extra events include free tours of the exhibition, with the artists, on 8th June and 22nd June at 2:00pm, and a themed creative workshop for children on 28th May from 1:00pm until 3:00pm.
