Originally from the north-west UK and now based in London\, Zarah has previously shown her paintings at the Turnpike Gallery alongside the sculptural work of Halima Cassell in Araam in 2010. \nGeometric Light is a specially selected exhibition with the artist and will present digital projections and animations from 2005-2022 alongside her most recent paintings. \nZarah was the first artist to explore how algorithms could be used to animate Islamic pattern. In 2005 she was commissioned by Cartwright Hall in Bradford to develop her first animation using computer code. She has subsequently exhibited throughout the UK and internationally\, including the Barbican Centre and South Bank Centre in London; Barnaby Festival\, Macclesfield; Peabody Essex Museum\, USA; and the Sharjah Museum\, UAE. In addition to her digital work\, for which she has collaborated for many years with Cris Thompson\, Zarah continues to make paintings and sculpture as an integral part of her practice. \nGeometric Light will include Invisible Threads – a wall-based installation of 54 light boxes filled with programmable LEDs; Beauty of Abstraction – a projected animation from 2005; Sharjah Spectrum – a projected animation which has infinite combinations of colour; Breath – a projection of a changing dodecagon evoking the inhaling and exhaling associated with breathing; and a series of new Breath paintings. \nGallery hours: Tuesday to Saturday\, 10am – 4pm \n\n \n More Info\n \n \n \n \n \n  URL:https://www.wiganeventsguide.com/event/geometric-light-by-zarah-hussain-art-exhibition/2022-12-06/ LOCATION:The Turnpike\, Civic Square\, Leigh\, WN7 1EB\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wiganeventsguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/geometric-light.jpg GEO:53.4977549;-2.5200285 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Turnpike Civic Square Leigh WN7 1EB United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Civic Square:geo:-2.5200285,53.4977549 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20221206T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20221206T203000 DTSTAMP:20240504T223903 CREATED:20221116T122415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221116T122415Z UID:10004254-1670351400-1670358600@www.wiganeventsguide.com SUMMARY:Light for a Life switch on ceremony DESCRIPTION:Dedicate a light on our Christmas Tree to mark the lives of those you love or have loved. \nAnyone can dedicate a light on our tree to remember the life of someone special or to mark a joyful event\, such as a wedding or birth.

Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought\, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.
