Cube Piano was created by French artist Cyril Lancelin(town.and.concrete) specifically for HKRI Taikoo Hui in Shanghai, China. Cube Piano is a textured monumental immersive installation. The black-and-white stripes represent the piano keyboards, and emerging blue-and-purple squares represent the notes soaring up to the sky. It is a dedication to the huge type of musicians, to the creativity hidden in everyone.
The structure is designed as an assembly of windows on the city but also the newly created “performance hall.” The exploration of the work will transport the visitor into an imaginary world. The textures by their optical illusions guide the walker in a universe punctuated by the openings and the play of lights. The music is in the air; it winds between the curves of the work. Come and play with your fingertips, with two or four hands: play standing up, sing, dance, and clap. And as night falls, the ephemeral musical palace lights up and brightly colors the space. The sculpture is a Place of life, intangible and artistic exchanges. In Cube Piano, time is suspended, images are textured, and good memories are engraved.
