As strategists and curators of the Crossrail ‘Culture Line’, Futurecity are proud to work with Crossrail and Pace Gallery in announcing Michal Rovner for Canary Wharf Station.The ‘Culture Line’ partners world-class contemporary artists and galleries with Crossrail’s central London stations.
Initial images of the video art to grace Canary Wharf Crossrail station have today been revealed for the first time.
Artist Michal Rovner will install large-scale video screens on elevator shafts and walls inside the 250m long station. Installation will take place in early 2018 ahead of trains running through the new station at the end of that year.
The panels on the escalator shafts will depict streams of human figures moving up and down like waves and will extend over two floors. Passengers will be able to view the floor above and below through space left around the elevator shafts. Additional wall panels in the ticket hall will depict human figures moving in and out on horizontal lines, referencing trains coming in and out of the station.
The £1m installation will allow the artist the ability to change the images over time and is co-funded by Canary Wharf Group plc and the City of London Corporation.
