The work features a tenor bell from Scraptoft Church in Leicestershire, which had been removed for not being in tune with the others. It is suspended from a steel cable strung between two 20-metre high steel beams, placed 30 metres apart. Much of the work of Norwegian artist A. K. Dolven highlights feelings of exile and being ‘out of sync’ with your surroundings. She created ‘Out of Tune’ for Folkestone Triennial 2011, on the theme of migration and exile. The sculpture resurrects a sixteenth-century church bell which had been left abandoned in a foundry for lacking the required purity of tone. Dolven has given the bell a new life making its difference a virtue. It now stands alone in front of the sea and sky unhindered by a belfry or the restrictions of telling the time and marking ecclesiastical events.
