Light Night Leeds 2017 - Centrepiece Projection Commission

Leeds City Council is looking to commission a major new projection mapping and soundscape for the city’s annual Light Night Leeds event. They are looking for an exciting and ambitious new artwork to re-imagine the façade of Leeds Civic Hall on Millennium Square on 5th & 6th October 2017.

Details from Light Night Leeds are below:

Light Night Leeds is a multi-arts and light festival which takes over Leeds City Centre on two nights in early October. Now in it's 13th year, it is a highly anticipated event in the city's cultural calendar. Over 40 artworks are presented across the city, with the projection on Leeds Civic Hall forming the centre-piece of the event.

For this year’s festival we would like to see the creative use of video mapping and sound to fit with the overall theme of ‘People and the City’. We are interested in receiving proposals for works which reference a story or stories of Leeds through its people, for example relating to the different communities that call Leeds home, the experience of living and working in the city, or prominent people from the city both historical and contemporary. The piece can be narrative led or more abstract in style, and should be durational to be played repeatedly throughout the evening. We are looking to commission something very different from previous work mapped on Civic Hall to create a new experience for Light Night audiences. We are open to a range of different visual styles including abstract, cinematic or animation.
