'RAINBOW-FRIARGATE' PUBLIC ART @ HULL 25/02 - 13/05/2011

Tsai & Yoshikawa present three unusual, large-scale and dynamic sculptures on a historic street as the part of an ‘Arts in Empty Spaces’ initiative in Hull City, England.

The installation ‘Rainbow-Friargate’ presents along the Hull’s Whitefriargate street until 13 May 2011. It is the fourth in a series of artworks aimed at exploring the relationship between the streetscape and shops with the people who use it every day.

Councillor Rick Welton, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Housing Strategy said:

The installation by Tsai & Yoshikawa has seen Whitefriargate become transformed by luminous sculptures. These public artworks make this important shopping street more attractive to visitors with renewed vibrancy and interest. It all goes to show how artists, not just architects, can have a role in shaping our city and the way we experience it.
