One more space that I havnt directed your attention to. Holy Trinity Church on Boar Lane. (This is the road that you turn into as you turn right out of the rail station) The use of churches as sites for art has of course a long history. You may want to consider whether or not the past still resonates into the present when working in these venues.

NCND Radio Art Installation 30th March - 3rd April
Opening Night Monday: 5.00 / 8.00Continues Tuesday - Friday: 12.00 / 4.00
Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds
This sound installation features abstract field recordings which are transmitted throughout the church to suspended radios; receivers will also pick up sounds from several different locations outside the building. The result will be a resonating collage of audio that relates yet contrasts to the theological setting. Influences are taken from a wide range of analog broadcasting sources, particularly Number Stations. These strange encrypted messages have been transmitted between frequencies since World War Two. The coded signals still continue today and have an incredibly unusual auditory and musical quality that have been abstracted and recreated in the installation.
This exhibition will also feature on the 1st April Art Walk for more details got to http://www.pavilion.org.uk/artwalks.html
