Our new work Hello World will be switched on this week in advance of Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery's grand re-opening.  We have been asked to make this unorthodox timepiece as part of a massive refurbishment of the the museum, which includes a number of other commissions and a new gallery dedicated to Frank Cohen's contemporary art collection.  Our work will be in the courtyard space (where the cafe is) for the next five years and it will perpetually display the current world population as decorative totem.
