Summary
[edit]DescriptionLip-sync sculpture at the BCU Steamhouse (52841693097).jpg |
I headed up to the Birmingham City University Steamhouse (ex Belmont Row Works) to check out a new work of public art called Lip-Sync by the artist Holly Hendry. Found this corner to be unfinished with workmen putting finishing touches to the area.
Gutted by a fire in 2007. Left derelict until work began to restore it in 2020. Steamhouse was opened in 2022.
Commissioned as part of the £70 million STEAMhouse project, and curated by Digbeth-based Eastside Projects, the large-scale sculpture draws on the history of the building as the headquarters of The Eccles Rubber and Cycle Company. The work – which sits outside the striking new building at the junction of Cardigan Street and Jennens Road in Birmingham - also embraces STEAMhouse’s new function as a centre for collaborative innovation where immersive technologies and digital fabrication meet hands-on making, research, business support and community building. Made from rolled, formed and laser-cut steel, with smaller hand-cast Jesmonite elements, the 4m-high Lip Sync’s surface features cartoonish, body-like shapes co-developed with students from Birmingham City University and pupils from Chandos Primary School in Highgate in a series of ‘exquisite corpse’ workshops where individual drawings lead from one to another to create a collective collage. Details, marks, and forms from the workshops were fed into computer software where they were simplified and amalgamated into a colourful and apparently continuous ribbon, a fluid band which weaves through a series of industrial rollers, appearing from and disappearing into the ground - perhaps even flowing underneath the building, or the city. |
