‘untitled (woven portico)’ by nicolas feldmeyer all photos by nick rochowski nicolas feldmeyer: woven portico

london-based artist nicolas feldmeyer employs existing architecture to create new spaces through the integration of contrasting materials. his latest work is ‘untitled (woven portico)’, a site-specific installation in which he has woven mesh between the columns of the portico of the central building at the university of college (UCL) in london. the strips of translucent material envelope the massive structure’s porch, enveloping the open space, offering a play of light and shadow from within. ‘untitled (woven portico)’ is on show until june 15th, 2012.
