SIR HENRY TATE'S MAUSOLEUM IMMORTALISED IN SUGAR CUBES
As creator of sugar cubes in the UK, Sir Henry Tate (1819-1899) made his fortune in the sugar trade and was one of the most significant art collectors of the Victorian era. In 1897 he bequeathed his vast art collection to the nation and poured £100,000 in to the building of the very first Tate Gallery. Therefore the sugar trade and art have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship since the 19th century. Now four Tate museums exist across the UK and attract a global audience, with Tate Modern receiving the most visitors of any contemporary art museum in the world.

2011: ART ON THE SEAFRONT
Queen's Parade, Bangor, N. Ireland
'Art on the Seafront' 2011 features a series of 20 large-scale billboard images documenting the entire construction process of Brendan Jamison's sugar cube sculpture of Bangor Castle Town Hall. The 100 metre long stretch of photographs rejuvenates Bangor Town Centre's empty space at Queen's Parade redevelopment site. A time-lapse video installation of the construction is also on display at 124 High Street in a vacant shop. Deputy Mayor of North Down Alan Leslie launched the exhibition on Tuesday 6 September at Queen's Parade redevelopment site. Billboard images by Multi-media Officer Gary McCormick.
The Art on the Seafront project, now in its 9th year, was initiated by North Down Borough Council’s Art Section. Each year Art on the Seafront utilises diverse external locations including vacant shop fronts, billboards, adshel bus shelters and advertising mesh to bring visual art out of the gallery space and into the public realm, giving people who may not normally attend exhibitions an opportunity to view visual art. The projects revitalises vacant spaces and derelict buildings in Bangor Town centre. |

Helen's Tower is located on Clandeboye Estate in Bangor, Northern Ireland. It sits on top of a wooded hill and was built in the Scottish Baronial style, begun in 1848 as a famine relief project, it was completed in 1861 by Lord Dufferin, Marquis of Dufferin and Ava. He dedicated the structure to his Mother Helen.
HISTORICAL NOTE: The tower was later duplicated in exact detail at Thiepval, France as a memorial to the soldiers of the 36th (Ulster) Division who laid down their lives in the First World War. They had trained at a camp beside Helen's Tower before departing from the shores of Bangor to fight on the Western Front. The replicated building was named The Ulster Tower and was opened on 19th November 1921. |
