We’re delighted to see the City transformed into a public gallery as the 11th Edition of Sculpture in the City is now open.
At Leadenhall Market, Shezad Dawood presents Invasion, 2019, a neon sculpture in the form of an invading monster emerging from the arcade into the public realm. Reminiscent of a character in digital video games from childhood, the work explores video games as Cold War propaganda.
Located nearby at the Beehive Passage, Guillaume Vandame’s symbols, 2019- 2021, remains in situ from 2021, consisting of 30 unique flags from the LGBTQ+ community, including the original Pride Flag designed by Gilbert Baker in San Francisco in 1978 to its newest iteration by Daniel Quasar in 2018, and celebrating the diversity of gender, sexuality and desire today.
