UNTITED (WOVEN PORTICO) Project for a site-specific installation, UCL Wilkins Building, London

White fabric sheets, interwoven with the existing columns, give the portico of UCL’s Wilkins Building a temporary new monumentality. The space contained within the portico receives a new sculptural formulation. A contrast is created between the fragility of the fabric and the materiality of the Portland stone. Responding to the vocabulary of representative architecture, this weightless gesture references both a neoclassical and a contemporary pop-up aesthetic. The act of weaving harks back to a time prior to classicism and the age of great institutions.
