Sir Eduardo Paolozzi's sculpture 'Vulcan' ,the God of the Forge, in Central Square Newcastle, has been replaced , temporarily, with a collection of vertically stacked shopping trolleys . The sculpture, called DNA DL90, represents a DNA double helix and is by artist Abigail Fallis. The DNA sculpture will be one of a number of works to fill the space while Vulcan is on tour.

Absolute garbage
ReplyDeleteFinally catching up on my RSS feed - this is a great find!
ReplyDeleteonce i found out what the idea was based upon, it helped me appreciate the work. otherwise id have just confused it with an act of vandilism by teenagers
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm hoping Wal-Mart doesn't come to this. Great shot :)
ReplyDeleteso when do we get Vulcan back?
ReplyDeletewow. nice piece, i believe the Vulcan is coming back in around 5 years according to local press who have been researching.As you can tel by my surname i have an interest in any of eduardos works and when i saw this i thought this was a prank by alcohol fueled university students after a friday night out in newcastle, however when i spoke to local press they advied me that the Vulcaan will return after touring, but not for some time.
ReplyDeleteAntony, 'Vulcan' is a great piece indeed.
