Following the successful three phases of its sculpture trail, Chelsea Barracks is pleased to add to its art programme with the inaugural edition of ‘Modern Masters’, a free outdoor programme of contemporary art curated by public art and cultural placemaking agency New Public, in partnership with London Craft Week.
This first edition showcases a selection of works by renowned American artist Dale Chihuly. Thoughtfully placed throughout Chelsea Barracks in Belgravia, the outdoor programme welcomes the public to explore art amongst its architecture and public grounds, embracing the creativity and community of the development.
Across his 60-year career, artist Dale Chihuly has used glass to explore the way form interacts with light and space, creating installations in harmonious dialogue with the environments in which they are sited, and inspiring new perceptions of space. His latest selection of works features four installations at Chelsea Barracks, a notable new addition in a line of other major Chihuly exhibitions and sitings in London, including the 1999 ‘V&A Chandelier’ at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the acclaimed 2019 exhibition ’Chihuly at Kew’ and others.
