K-pop megaband BTS has launched a global public art project involving 22 artists across London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Seoul and New York -- and one of the major public installations will be created by British sculptor Antony Gormley.
The South Korean boy band has launched"Connect, BTS," a global public art project involving 22 artists across five cities: London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Seoul and New York..
"This seemed a very open-minded and generous gesture," Gormley said of the band's patronage, during the project launch at London's Serpentine Galleries."The artworld tends to speaks to itself. We, the culture industry, favor biennales, museums and art fairs. But art is a gift, it only makes sense when it's shared."
"The notion that through this new mycelium, in a sense, this network of connectivity to a whole new young audience, [we are] building bridges with the future -- hopefully through a sensitive, open-minded, lively, young strata in society -- is exciting," Gormley said. The first of five major installations opened Tuesday at the Serpentine, and features a digital installation by Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen. Entitled"Carthasis," the work takes audiences on a virtual journey through an imagined forest that Steensen 3-D scanned.
