The sculpture hanging down through three levels of the Brookfield Place grand foyer is spectacular from whichever viewpoint you look at it. Commissioned for the opening of Brookfield Place in 2012 by BHP Billiton and created by Miik Green/Brad Ladyman, it comprises 2km tubular aluminum coated in red marine grade paint. I took the shot above from about half way down the escalators looking straight up.. looks a bit like a beautifully crafted space ship :) and the shot below from the first floor to show the many levels it encompasses..
Designed to 'have an impact on workers by continuously challenging and motivating them when they head to their offices through the foyer', the self-repeating patterns within the work create a series of lines, which provide a unique experience depending on the viewer’s perspective'. Personally I found it very stimulating :) Happy Thursday, take care.. p.s. catch up today!
That last photo, in particular, is an interesting perspective.

dit hebt je echt geweldig mooi gedaan van prachtige standpunten.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a giant clam!
ReplyDeleteI like it, Grace! We have a Brookfield Place here too and it is a wonderful location for showing art which they usually do. Another thing our cities have in common!
ReplyDeleteVery photogenic, I particularly like the last shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photos Grace, I like that artwork very much.
ReplyDeleteI do like it, a lot in fact! But I'm not sure that it would motivate me for work!
ReplyDeleteI like it. It certainly makes a statement, but I am cynical about it motivating workers.
ReplyDeleteInteresting piece...although I'm not so sure it would increase my motivation to work!!!
ReplyDeleteThis really is a stunning piece. I'm so glad you've photographed it for us. I think my favorite shot is the last one, the close up. There is a lot of movement in that shot.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of this interesting piece of art.
ReplyDeleteVisually amazing, Grace!
ReplyDeleteIneresting scuplture. I'm more impressed with the neat building.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning shot of fantastic art!

Fabulous art shots!
ReplyDeleteI doubt it would motivate me as I made my way to the office - might slow me down as I lingered to find new perspectives.
ReplyDeleteA truly stunning piece of art.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured!! Very creative art indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I never cease to be amazed at artists imagination.
ReplyDelete"Designed to 'have an impact on workers by continuously challenging and motivating them when they head to their offices."
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of money grabbing Dodo would think that would 'challenge and motivate' workers?
I know what this worker would say to them......
I like it. I see it looks different from every angle.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful piece of art, always looks different depending on the angle you're looking from.
ReplyDeletethat is really neat looking....love the space it is in too!
ReplyDeleteA very neat sculpture! There is also a Brookfield Place in Toronto... and it looks rather similar. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is not the best shot of it, but it gives you an idea.
