Commissioned artist: Pae White
Curated by Lacuna
Pae White’s Somethinging, floats across levels of shops and restaurants both above and below ground, opening out onto a new public piazza and framing the entrance. The piece suggests movement, lightness, dance, conviviality. Familiar patterns entwine and overlap with secret modules of colours revealing themselves and rewarding the viewer as they physically move around the piece. These modules frame the sky and surrounds as two forms circle each other in a dance of suspended optimism. Somethinging, is made up of 1232 aluminium folded panels, 8040 rivets and includes 20,000 folds made of eleven colours.
