Sunderland Station - Jason Bruges

Jason Bruges Studio’s latest artwork has been unveiled at Sunderland Station. The 144m long piece presents a virtual platform filled with travellers within a glass block wall. The 3m tall glass block wall in the underground train station has been turned into a large low-resolution video matrix (755×15 pixels). Behind the wall is a disused platform, which long ago used to see passengers waiting for trains. Now the tracks are long gone and the old platform is hidden from view., we have created ghostly characters that appear behind the glass wall opposite passengers waiting for the trains.

Hyposurface

HypoSurface is a versatile and hyper-effective display medium that is a pure people-magnet: it draws the eyes because no one has seen anything like it before. It captures the digital ‘mood’ that is in the air, and people are delighted to participate in its intelligent sensuality – they immerse themselves in the wonder of it.

Yet as a digital medium it is able to display any message or logo, all the more effective in their impact because of the surprise of their emergence from the fluid and luminous surface.

The Hepworth Gallery - David Chipperfield

Sublime intervention - RIBA Journal

Part fortress, part monastery, David Chipperfield’s serene clean lines marry fine art and an industrial site in Hepworth Wakefield, the town’s powerful cultural citadel

Words Hugh Pearman 

It is set on an industrial island in the River Calder and is even more cut off by a busy trunk road and 1960s bridge slicing past one end of its site. A working boatyard lies opposite, various fine but abandoned mill buildings are its neighbours. The centre of Wakefield is some distance away, and anyway the city loses out to nearby Leeds as the main regional centre. So David Chipperfield’s latest art gallery, the Hepworth Wakefield, has a job to do. This is the most down-at-heel of contexts. It was not previously any kind of ‘destination’, though the excellent nearby Yorkshire Sculpture Park will bring passing cultural trade. Inevitably, this £35m project forms part of a regeneration plan for the riverside, so will become less isolated...
