Mechanical sculpture set in motion at St Pancras
Artist Shawcross invites political interpretations of work placed near Eurostar terminal. By James Pickford
A huge mechanical sculpture by the artist Conrad Shawcross was set in motion on Wednesday at St Pancras railway station in London.
Spanning 16m and weighing nearly 3 tonnes, “The Interpretation of Movement (a 9:8 in blue)” has three articulated aluminium arms and carbon-fibre “optic sails” that fold, rotate and move in and out from the centre in a pre-determined but complex pattern.
