Daisy Richardson
Yellow Bunker
From 17th January 2026 - 31st March
A life size model of a cold war listening post bunker which she made from fabric and wood, based on the 1960 Royal Observer Corp Listening Post in Comrie, Perthshire. When she began researching this work, thoughts of nuclear showdowns were more historical study although many similar bunkers in Europe left unused since the 1990s have been returned to their original purpose with the escalating tensions on the continent. She hopes that visitors to the exhibition will be able to go inside the sculpture to experience first-hand the scale of these hard to visit subterranean buildings and to imagine what it could have been like for the volunteers to descend into these spaces of an uncertain future and to consider the political structures that brought us to the point where nuclear weapons exist.
