| London's largest urban gallery to be unveiled in spring 2009 The Royal Academy Schools and the international real estate firm, Hines, announced the launch of an online competition inviting members of the public to vote for their favourite work of art from a raft of talented Royal Academy Schools' students. The artwork will be exhibited on London's biggest urban gallery, which takes the form of a super-sized canvas stretched across the southern façade of Hines' One Grafton Street – a corner building currently under construction in Central London. The winning artist will have his or her work displayed on a 14m x 24m canvas positioned on the building and visible all the way from Piccadilly. Visitors to the One Spirit Showcase website can vote for their preferred image. Once the public casts their vote, a panel of highly regarded contemporary art critics will endorse the decision. The works of art range from figurative to abstract in a wide range of media including paintings, photography, ceramics, prints and computer-generated pieces. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
