TH.I.W.H. / THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED (2011)

The sculpture refers to the duality of this location.
Until 1890 the prison Millbank Penitentiary, a model for optimized surveillance architecture, was located on the premises of what today hosts the Chelsea College of Art and Design  What is more, until 1868 everyone expelled from the country was “processed” though Millbank.
The stainless steel sculpture is painted matt black on one side and in colorful stripes on the other.
It sits on two steel beams and encloses an isolated, hardly accessible space.
