Collaborating with writers, poets and residents to create several public realm installations within the new town of Corby, Northamptonshire, responding to the photographic archives held by the Northamptonshire Record Office (Seabourne Collection) and Corby Community Arts. Alongside this work, we produced a new people’s archive, continuing the tradition of collecting at CCA, as well as audio soundscapes in collaboration with the resident poet, Joel Stickely.
Town centre interventions included artworks installed on 50m of empty shop facades, artworks applied to 65m of site hoardings, and drop-in events within an empty shop unit in the town centre, which included film screenings of archive footage from Corby’s past. The culmination of the project resulted in an Open Weekend of cultural and sporting activities, in which Glassball produced a digital display of artworks and archive film produced over the course of the project.
