Alongside a rather epic roster of twenty-seven other creative talents, Nick Knight, Hussein Chalayan and Grammy award-winning producer Sam Spiegel have been brought on by Beck’s to become Keyholders of The Green Box Project – the world’s biggest cultural commissioning program and an initiative to encourage installation creation that is free from physical constraints and completely liberated by the unlimited boundaries.
Thirty unique installations will live within the Green Box – an 2m³ acrylic sculpture designed by designer Jason Bruges, which will house the works from London to New York, Los Angeles to Miami and in Rome and Milan – over the next three years. Other collaborators include Bompas & Parr, LuckyMe, Stephen Burks, Meryl Smith, Reed + Rader, Sage Vaughn, Shaniqwa Jarvis, Kate MccGwire, Kenneth Cappello, Kathy Grayson, Petra Storrs, Steven Harrington, Andrew Kuo, Austra, Hannah Barry, UVA and Warpaint.
Check out the video below featuring some great soundbites from Nick Knight and Tracy Emin amongst others. An App is also available to follow the progress of the installations around the world.
The first commission, a 200ft high digital sculpture on top of Statue of Liberty by Arne Quinze, has just gone live.
