Artpoint were involved with the development of Pontoon, a contemporary art exhibition in, on and over the River Thames in Oxford, offering advice on the development of the project and sponsoring the development of one of the works.

 

Pontoon was presented by artists collaborative Work and was a unique and exciting contemporary art show, and inaugural exhibition on the river.

 

This event was the first in Oxford to utilise the river, a pontoon and a national monument as an exhibition venue. Pontoon showcased the work of twelve artists who reacted to this unusual exhibiting space in an innovative and diverse manner. The works included a large model aircraft carrier, a floating infrasound amplifier, and a site-specific interactive light and sound piece installed underneath Folly Bridge.
