In 2010, Futurecity was appointed to develop a visionary art commissioning strategy for Crossrail. In order to raise the profile of this ambitious public art project, Futurecity identified 7 of London’s leading international, commercial contemporary art galleries – one for each station. Futurecity is proud to work with Pace Gallery and announce that internationally-renowned artist Michal Rovner has been appointed to create artwork for the Canary Wharf Elizabeth Line Station.
Rovner’s site-specific, 16-metre-long screen-based artwork Transitions was unveiled on the 3 October 2019 at Crossrail Place, Canary Wharf station.
Rovner began her work on Transitions by filming in London. She collected architectural elements, monuments and human figures, and created an imagined multilayered space, a video collage of an iconographic London landscape. As in her other public artworks (and like her work, “Passagi/Passages,” at Stazione Municipio, in Naples and “Histories” at the Court Napoleon and the Louvre), Rovner creates a dialogue with the given architecture and place in which her work is displayed; with its past and present.
