No Friday Dispatch this week due to ill health – but if you are looking for something to do this weekend why not head down to Dulwich Park, tomorrow Saturday 18 March, 14.00 to join the artist Conrad Shawcross and Contemporary Art Society staff for the launch of his brand new Dulwich Park Art Commission, Three Perpetual Chords, managed and curated by our brilliant Art Consultancy team.
The sculpture has been commissioned by Southwark Council, as a legacy to the sculpture that was stolen from the park in 2011, Two Forms (Divided Circle) by Barbara Hepworth.
Three Perpetual Chords draws from the artist’s ongoing study of harmonics and represents The Octave, The Fifth and The Fourth within the western harmonic scale. The work will form a trail in the northern end of the park, with each piece just visible from the last, resting lightly on the grass and emphasising the contrast between the industrial material and its natural environment.
For more information and a short video about the making of the work, visit www.contemporaryartsociety.org/news/video-conrad-shawcross-reveals-the-making-process-of-his-three-perpetual-chords/
The musician and composer Mira Calix will be composing a musical response to the work, which will be performed live at the launch by London Contemporary Orchestra.
