The sculpture has been designed to be placed\u00a020-metres high and to appear\u00a0as if part of the building\u2019s existing red-brick facade has cracked in two. Until the final work, Chinneck spent month trying to recreate the effect of a ripped page from a book.<\/p>\n

\"Take<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to introduce sculptural interventions in unexpected contexts, heightening a sense of discovery when you encounter them,\u201d he told. \u201cWith this in mind, the archetypal nature of the building\u2019s upper elevation makes it a perfect platform for surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Take<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work looks to energizee the architecture by reconfiguring and reinvigorating what was already materially present, albeit seemingly,\u201d added Chinneck, whose previous sculptures include a\u00a0huge upside down pylon\u00a0and a\u00a0Christmas tree trapped in a giant ice cube.<\/p>\n

\"Take\"dinings<\/a>\u201cGiven the size of the sculpture I\u2019ve also tried to restrain it from becoming contextually overpowering by making it visually harmonious with the situation it occupies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\"Take<\/p>\n

The two parts of the 12-metre-high sculpture lean away from the building as if about to fall down. Chinneck set the artwork just two layers of bricks deep, to lend the piece a \u201ccartoon-like quality\u201d.<\/p>\n
