Inhaltsangabe

To mark one year from opening the new station, Art on the Underground launch a new publication on the work of Alexandre da Cunha at Battersea Power Station in London. Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset is a monumental kinetic sculpture for the Underground station. Stretching 95m and 60m in length, the artwork incorporates two friezes that face each other along the length of the ticket hall. The artwork was inspired by the former control room at Battersea Power Station and its system of vertical bars that regulated the production and output of electricity into the city. Combining this with resonances of the daily flow of dawn to dusk, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset refers to cycles, routine, the everyday and eternity. Designed by Fraser Muggeridge Studio, the book features essays from art historian Dr Lisa Blackmore exploring the artist’s practice, a geographical and social history of the local area from architecture and design writer Gillian Darley, an essay on commissioning the work by Eleanor Pinfield and a creative prose work from experimental writer Rebecca Watson.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Northern Line Extension creates two new stations for London’s Underground network on the south bank of the River Thames. The focus of a rapidly changing landscape, the new Tube stations will be anchors for millions of Londoners. Commissioning ground-breaking new artworks by the artists Alexandre da Cunha and Samara Scott for these stations, the organisation Art on the Underground brings ambitious art to millions of people. With texts and essays about the artists, this publication marks these major new additions to London’s public art scene.

At Battersea Power Station, Alexandre de Cunha punctuates the ticket hall with a monumental kinetic sculpture. Along the river at Nine Elms station, Samara Scott’s work will take the form of a network of richly coloured pools embedded in the station architecture.
