parade ground description

parade ground is the third in the red cube series

imagine

a beautiful ‘pollution-dusted’ London sunset with the vast expanse of the parade ground floor - bathed in vermillion red light: by red-gelling the Ground’s flood lights.

a vermillion cube tea house made from plexiglass, at one corner of the green. this is a tea house which during the day is a little sanctuary for people to sit, lie, listen to music, read a book, tap a laptop, send a tweet, and simply enjoy the colourful passing of clouds and people through the vermillion red walls and ceiling. in the evening ‘tea’ ceremonies will be conducted in the red cube. spectators will be able to book for a sixteen-minute slot, from 6-9pm.

accompanying the tea ceremonies in the evening will be a cinematic installation. this consists of video images projected on the wall of tate britain that face the square accompanied by a live score on piano by gifted young composer joey draycott, responding to the mood of the

occasion and the spectators he encounters.

a film that engages with the architecture of the space – tate, university of the arts, london, the river thames, london, the context and mood of the situation, and a wider ecology. the film is called: relationship-place naka-ma.
