Oscar Tuazon : Live Steam Shift Whistle

19 Jul-9 Nov 2014

Overview

As part of Arnolfini’s upcoming exhibition The Promise, US artist Oscar Tuazon presents a specially commissioned sculpture Live Steam Shift Whistle (2014) on The Downs, Bristol. The work, formed of a 20 foot steel cylinder and large concrete fire pit, will double as a community barbeque. The sculpture, which takes inspiration from the tradition of architectural follies in landscape parks, is a monument to the people's use of the site and a shared cultural history.
