Last night I spent forty-odd minutes thirty-ish feet below Holborn in the Kingsway Tram Tunnel, the reason was because I’d always wondered what was down there. The event that made it possible was Chord an installation art piece by Conrad Shawcross. The art is basically a large rope weaving machine, slowly weaving 300m of multicolored rope. I found the engineering more impressive than the art.
Photography of the piece was discouraged, and I’d forgotten my camera anyway, not that this has stopped photographs appearing on flickr.
