Prepartaion for the Late Shows with archiGRADS

May 15, 2013
Here at Globe we are working over time to ensure we are prepared for the Late Shows on Saturday. We are creating a participatory sculpture entitled Embedded Union co-curated by Northern Architecture's archiGRAD programme and Globe.

It will entail 500 silver foil cylinders suspended from the ceiling of the first floor gallery that participants will mark with their thoughts, wishes or memories.

Here are some of our team getting things ready for the silver dream that will be created on the 18th of May.
