We launched the sculpture 'Hello Friends' last night in the atrium of Bridgewater Place. To mark the occasion we invited musicians from London based Nozfuratu to play a concert. It was it has to be said, freezing in the covered street, possibly the coldest night of the year so far, but the musicians played on and the music was great. We particularly enjoyed the edgy modernist inspired music accompanying the glass elevators rising and falling with late working lawyers in conjunction with the flashing repetitive lights of the sculpture.

We managed to get some coverage of the opening on TV and radio (see Look North news excerpt). It was going to be broadcast live, only there was a break out of a fatal disease in the drinking water in North Yorkshire which unfortunately took our slot. It was good to have a live event and a chance to see some of our friends/ colleagues, alongside those that had worked on the sculpture.
