Two of the available pieces feature Ice Queen, imagery featured in her installation now on view at LA MoCA’s “Art in the Streets” exhibition. Responding to the history of the site, Swoon has adhered Ice Queen prints to salvaged barge boards layered with 100’s of years old wallpaper from the 18th century Creole cottage that stood on the site where Dithyrambalina will be built.

Additionally, a Kickstarter campaign has been started to support the team of sound artists needed to build this house. This Fall they are prototyping singing walls, floorboard-operated horn sections, and percussive elements triggered by the human heartbeat. This Kickstarter campaign features two additional works of Swoon’s.

Metropol Parasols

Posted on Posted in love/hate, sexy, UncategorizedTagged , , , Leave a comment
Metropol Parasol explores the potential of the Plaza de la Encarnacion to become the new contemporary urban centre. Its role as a unique urban space within the dense fabric of the medieval inner city of Seville.
The scheme with its impressive timber structures offers an archaeological museum, a farmers market, an elevated plaza, multiple bars and restaurants underneath and inside the parasols, as well as a panorama terrace on the very top of the parasols. Realized as one of the largest and most innovative bonded timber-constructions with a polyurethane coating, the parasols grow out of the archaeological excavation site into a contemporary landmark, defining a unique relationship between the historical and the contemporary city. “Metropol Parasols” mix-used character initiates a dynamic development for culture and commerce in the heart of Seville and beyond.”
