Monument to the Unknown Artist

Monument to the Unknown Artist by Greyworld, 2007
Sumner Street, Southwark
London, September 2014

“Non plaudite modo pecuniam jacite”
(Don't applaud, just throw money)

“In 2007, Greyworld launched Monument to the Unknown Artist beside the Tate Modern on London’s Bankside. A permanent installation, it garnered the interest of the world's media. At first glance the installation would appear to be a simple bronze statue, dressed in a neck scarf and loose fitting suit. However, the six metre high monument seeks inspiration from passers-by, inviting them to strike poses which he copies, continually changing his form in a light-hearted and mischievous way. The unique sculpture offers an alternative and accessible creative experience for the public, allowing them to create a dialogue with the work of art.” (Greyworld, Wikipedia)

“Experience high speed on the most beautiful avenue in Paris, the river Seine! If you want to give your staff an exceptional ‘team building’ adventure, why not come to Paris ? We can take groups of a minimum ten people. You might like to dine afterwards in one of the delightful floating restaurants on the river. The shared memories of your employees cannot fail to give a unique opportunity of ‘team bonding’.” (Who are we?, Paris Speed)

Two of the “Royal Beasts” by Kendra Haste, 2011
Tower of London
London, September 2014

“The apparent ordinariness of wire and wire mesh belie their expressive qualities and provide ideal material for my sculptures. Drawing is integral to my work as an artist and is perfectly matched by the linear qualities of wire. No other material I have ever used has been able to suggest the sense of movement and life, of contour and volume, the contrasts of weight and lightness, of solidity and transparency - qualities that I find in my natural subjects. It is the perfect medium, inviting continuing exploration and challenge.” (Historic Royal Palaces Awards Sculpture Commission to Kendra Haste, ArtDaily)
