Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef

This large-scale, constantly mutating series of handmade crochets replicate the forms of natural coral. The project, organised by the Los Angeles-based Institute For Figuring is a direct response to the plight of coral reef from pollution and global warming. Fusing science and mathematics with fine art and handicraft, the reef is constantly updated by an ever-expanding group of participants from around the world. The Crafts Council in partnership with Southbank Centre.

Jeppe Hein: Appearing Rooms

The work of Danish artist Jeppe Hein (born 1974) often combines sculpture with architecture and technology to playfully solicit the viewer's direct participation. Hein's aquatic sculpture Appearing Rooms was originally commissioned for the garden of the Villa Manin, Italy. Hein was inspired by the Baroque villa to design an ornamental fountain that visitors would be invited to enter, to interact with changing spaces created by rising and falling walls of water. Redefining traditional ideas about fountains, this public artwork explores the relationship between spatial perception and memory, presence and absence, inside and outside. As visitors walk through the 'rooms', they must carefully consider the patterns of rising and falling water if they are to leave the space without getting wet.

Donna Huddleston: Golden Hands

London-based Australian artist Donna Huddleston (born 1970) creates a number of works that relate to the venue's function as a gallery and cafe / bar, including a new apron designed for the waiting staff, cushions placed on the hard stools, embroidered napkins, reworked menu cards and floral displays. The artist's intention is to suggest a haunting of Concrete by the ghost of a cafe from an imagined future, or fantasy past.

Fresh Off The Wall

From 5-19 July, a team of artists, from collective 13:54, transform the Queen Elizabeth Hall Foyer with their creative responses to the music, words and text of the London Literature Festival. Evolving from a blank canvas to display an exciting mix of textiles, graffiti, photographs, video and performance art, the work narrates the day-by-day story of the Festival as artists respond to events in real time. The collective was formed by poet and graphic designer Inua Ellams, with the intention of bringing together a group of like-minded artists who could find new ways to blur the boundaries of literature and the visual arts. Under the umbrella of Southbank Centre's Fresh Off The Page series, this exhibition brings together 11 young, emerging visual artists who are challenged and inspired by each others work, and offers an exciting opportunity to access the diverse imaginations of a new collective. Fresh Off The Wall celebrates word by exploring its visual incarnations, challenges the way literature is absorbed and enhances the experience of the London Literature Festival 2008.
