Exhibition
18 September - 23 November 2010 Lyndall Phelps
Archival Scenarios 
The artist Lyndall Phelps has been commissioned by Beacon Art Project to produce an artwork in response to Barrington Court. From June to August she has worked with staff and volunteers to research and develop her ideas the results of which can be seen in this new exhibition on the top floor of Barrington Court.
The exhibition 'Archival Scenarios' is an archive which records and analyses data relating to each of the individual wooden panels lining the walls of the attic at Barrington Court.
Visitors entering the top floor of the house will feel they have entered a film set from CSI. The artist has divided the attic into 8 sections centered around a stone window sill marking each with a forensic evidence marker the design of which is based on crime scene photographic markers.
On the window sill in each of the 8 sections will be found archival data sheets on which the artist has meticulously drawn and recorded the number and sizes of wooden panels in each section. Directly referencing the house's former owner Arthur Lyle displayed on the central window sill of the top floor will be 8 laboratory standard glass specimen jar etched with a measuring scale from 100 to 500. Each jar labeled Section 1 to 8 is filled with Tate and Lyle Golden Syrup, to the number on the scale that relates to the number of panels in that particular Section. ___________________________________________________
