Cornelia Parker unveils a new sculpture to hang in London's St Pancras Station

Date

The term “public art” often elicits a few groans from art critics, but when you consider London’s key public art spaces – the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, the Serpentine Gallery, and Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall – it’s difficult to overlook the impact sculptures and installation can have in public environments where they reach millions of people each year.

The newest to take up this gauntlet comes courtesy of Cornelia Parker, who has developed an installation entitled One More Time which hangs, as of yesterday, in St Pancras International station. The site is intended to become the fourth key mainstay of public art in the capital. A working replica of the station’s original clock, Cornelia’s clock hangs 16 inches in front of the original, thereby gradually eclipsing it from the perspective of passengers on different platforms throughout the station.
