Eleven artists are using the Power House as a temporary studio laboratory to experiment and test new ways of working based on active research around Orford Ness. Each of the artists will draw on the legacy of the Ness, its Research Laboratories, and as a site for experimentation and improvisation. Instead of experiments into defence and destructive forces, the Research Art Lab artists will prompt new ways for us to look at, question and understand the heritage, shifting landscape and ecology around us.

The Research Art Lab programme activates the Power House into a live working creative space, making public the process of developing and testing work that often takes place behind closed doors. Here you can see the process of creative research and experimentation as it happens rather than as a finished outcome.
