"It's been created by the Colombian artist Delcy Morelos, and in addition to walking around it, entrances allow you into the middle, and in one place, to walk inside the wall itself as well."
"According to the blurb, the artist creates "multisensory immersive environments that invite us to convene with the earth and reorient our relationship to land" and we're told that visitors "will be invited to enter and circulate the artwork, become part of its ecosystem""
"The art apparently has been put into "direct dialogue with the utopic, humanist values that underpin the Barbican Estate, a dialogue that is crystallised in the relationship between soil and cement.""
"It's also free to visit. The installation is in the Sculpture Court of the Barbican Arts Centre - head up to the 3rd floor, then out into the sculpture gallery, which sits within Frobisher Crescent. Note: the entrances into the structure are quite narrow, so don't bring large rucksacks, or be American."
A giant muddy doughnut installation has been placed in the Barbican’s Sculpture Court. Created by Colombian artist Delcy Morelos, it can be explored by walking around it, entering through openings, and in one area walking inside the wall itself. The work is presented as a multisensory immersive environment meant to invite visitors to convene with the earth and become part of its ecosystem. It is described as engaging utopic humanist values associated with the Barbican Estate through a relationship between soil and cement. The installation is free to visit, located on the 3rd floor and accessible via the sculpture gallery in Frobisher Crescent. Entrances are narrow, so large bags should be avoided.
