Sculptures in residence at the Midland Hotel

Second Nature — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:20:17 +0000

We went to Manchester yesterday to see how our sculptures look displayed in the grand lobby of the Midland Hotel. The four pieces:Spindrift, Sprite, Solaris and Flight are on loan through Visual run by Arts & Business, who aim to create partnerships between commerce and culture. The work will be on show until 14th April. For more images see our blog.

P&O Azura Commission

Last year, while exhibiting at Brighton Art Fair, our work was spotted by P&O’s art consultants and we were commissioned to produce a permanent wall sculpture to be located onboard their newest superliner the Azura.

Artists were given an open brief and we responded by creating a wall sculpture called ‘Momentum’ inspired by the movement of the sea and stars. It is cut from satin polished stainless steel which shimmers in changing light and will reflect Azura’s sophisticated and innovative interior.

The work will be unveiled when the ship is launched in April by the ballerina Darcey Bussell.

EDF Energy Commission

In 2008 we installed two reclaimed metal wall sculptures in EDF’s London HQ. Our work was seen by one of their staff members when we had a stand at Prelude Art Fair in Spitalfields Market, London. She bought some of our work and when asked to assist in putting together an art collection for their new offices contacted us. We made two 1.2m wall sculptures, Supernova and Wildfire II, in rusted mild steel sourced from a reclaimation yard.
