SMALL STEP, GIANT LEAP – A LUNAR LANDING-INSPIRED INTERVENTION BY BRUCE MUNRO Artist Bruce Munro will present a landing in the thirteenth century barn to mark 50 years since the lunar landing. Projected on to the vast stonewalls of the barn will be the artist’s visualisation of the moon created from an animated projection, which takes Armstrong’s now iconic words translated into morse code to create an abstract visual pattern. Artist Christopher Kurtz’s suspended wooden constellations will complement this lunar intervention. 7.30pm; Messums Wiltshire; www.messumswiltshire.com
