SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: ‘Idyllic | Industrial’ Kym McDowell
DESCRIPTION:Opening event (Green Gallery): Sunday 15 November\, 10am-12pmExhibition runs: 11 November – 29 November 2026Weekend gallery hours: Sundays 10am–2pm Meet the Artist\n\n‘Idyllic | Industrial’ explores the Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal power station in the UK and its place in the landscape in the process of decommissioning and dismantling.\n\nWith its position alongside the intersection of the River Soar and the River Trent\, the power station is both contrasted and complemented by historic canals\, recoursed waterways\, bridges and locks. Once essential for transport at the height of the Industrial Revolution\, these objects are now seen as beautiful remnants of a romanticised past.\n\nThis juxtaposition raises questions about how time transforms our perception of these structures. Could the cooling towers\, too\, eventually become romantic relics of a bygone era also worthy of preservation?\n\nPresented as part of the Head On Photo Festival.\n\n(Pictured: Idyllic Industrial 7\, Kym McDowell)
