Pic 8 Catherine Yass installation Two landmark art installations completed via Moss collaboration

Catherine Yass’s permanent installation spans 152sq m

Moss has produced and installed two significant pieces of artwork for the new public art programme at West London’s newest destination Paddington Square, owned by Great Western Developments.

The company collaborated with artists Catherine Yass and Kathrin Böhm and a multi-faceted project team. Moss worked closely with both artists for colour testing, frame and lighting design, and fabrication to ensure the printed artwork perfectly complemented the architectural design of the new Renzo Piano-designed building.

Working closely with curator Stella Ioannou of Lacuna Projects, Mtec Fine Art, Gardiner & Theobald LLP, and Blu-3, the project team delivered its vision to provide an inspiring public arts programme. Utilising Moss’s on-site studio, all parties ensured the artworks maintained the integrity and vibrancy of the artists’ original visions.

As a permanent fixture, Ms Yass’s installation spans 152sq m, printed on durable semi-coated front-lit PVC to withstand the outdoor conditions.

Ms Böhm’s piece, covering 92sq m, is part of a three-year rotational programme in partnership with The Showroom and will be updated annually, providing a dynamic element to the public art programme. Once the artwork is changed, Moss will work with the artist and project team to determine whether it will be kept or recycled again.
