Art-Partners returns to DDP for the 2nd year, and is delighted to curate and project manage three public art installations at the DDP. As Project Managers for three installations by Felice Varini, Atelier Sisu, and Studio Vertigo.
Our Beating Heart is a work of the British artist group Studio Vertigo, and was created based on the inspiration of a disco ball that calls for love and brings people together. Studio Vertigo has developed the work over the past five years through an exploration of the form, material, and scale of lighting.
Our Beating Heart is mediated by the heart, the center of our existence, and light, the fundamental element of our existence. When light touches the heart sculpture, it is absorbed and projected back into the world, illuminating others and everything around it. Studio Vertigo wanted to express the various aspects of human existence, which has a wider and more complex scope than we think, through the work.
Art-Partners worked closely with consultants to fulfil all technical requirements, government permissions, delivery, and installation. As Project Managers, we also aided in organising the Forum talk and the Press, as well as the Opening Ceremony sponsored by Pernod Ricard at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)
