\n The sculpture titled Helios, created by UK artist Luke Jerram, will be on display in the Corn Exchange for ten days starting from Saturday, March 28.\n<\/p>\n
\n The globe is an impressive seven metres in diameter and represents the sun on a scale of approximately 1:200 million.\n<\/p>\n
\n It blends solar imagery with animated lighting and is accompanied by a surround-sound composition by Duncan Speakman and Sarah Anderson for a fully immersive experience.\n<\/p>\n
\n Access to the installation, presented in partnership with Dorchester Town Council, will be free.\n<\/p>\n
\n There will also be a special relaxed viewing session on the morning of Monday, March 30.\n<\/p>\n
\n Visitors will also be able to view a separate exhibition featuring sun-themed artworks from the Dorset community and take part in creative activities including writing, movement, drawing and music, all centred on the theme of the sun.\n<\/p>\n
\n Thousands of visitors are expected to come to see Helios, following the popularity of previous exhibits Museum of the Moon and Mars.\n<\/p>\n
\n The project has been co-commissioned by the National Trust, Cork Midsummer Festival, Liverpool Cathedral, Old Royal Naval College and University College London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The sculpture titled Helios, created by UK artist Luke Jerram, will be on display in the Corn Exchange…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":221217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[437,434,435,436,438,146,85,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-221216","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-il","15":"tag-israel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
