New exhibition explores coal history
Entitled ‘Song for Coal’, the exhibition explores the physical and cultural properties of coal and takes a form based on the apocalyptic rose window of Sainte Chapelle, Paris.
Broken down into 152 separate panels, each section of the rose hosts an individual film, and is accompanied by a plainsong based on The Coal Catechism by William Jasper Nicolls.
