FORGE is a durational installation with entry at 15-minute intervals – we ask that you arrive for the time designated on your tickets, but once you have entered you are welcome to stay as long as you like.

The installation will include flashing lights, and loud and unexplained noises. The installation is linked to themes of genocide and the Holocaust. Any references are thematic only and the installation contains no direct imagery.

For health and safety, you are required to wear covered clothing (i.e. long sleeved tops and full-length trousers / leg coverings) and closed covered shoes to attend. 

On arrival, you will receive a health and safety briefing and be provided with a welding helmet and apron to wear at all times during their visit to the installation. Ear defenders will be available to use.

The first hour of the first installation day (Thursday) contains no welding. This removes the need to wear protective gear and reduces the intensity of sound levels. However, loud metal working noises are still to be expected.

If you have access needs which mean wearing a welding helmet or other protective gear is not possible we invite you to book for this time.
