New Space was dedicated to four artists: Timothy Drever, Ed Herring, Peter Joseph and David Parsons. Herring made an installation in the garden. At the time of the catalogue going to print the work was called ?Proposal for Work in a Public Open Space?, which Herring later called Chemical Boxes. It comprised 20 specially prepared boxes, metal-lined and filled with different water-sensitive chemicals. They were arranged in rows, before being buried. The boxes in each row were connected with each other by small pipes. At the top end of each row was an area for collecting rain water, which was fed it into the boxes. The aim was to let rain water infiltrate the boxes and create a chemical reaction. The finished result, being buried underneath the lawn, was invisible to the public.
