Big Art

UAP's work with indigenous artists has seen some extraordinary artworks come to life, but expressing the dark history of Postcolonial Australia's occupation by Europeans becomes an even greater challenge when secret messages are being woven into the very material of the artwork itself. When international clients come calling UAP is keen to rise to the challenge, and when the client is the King of Saudi Arabia, the budget is no problem - rather, it's the challenges of deadline and location that have this 60 metre his sculptural tower struggling to rise from the Red Sea.

UAP lands a big local client - the Brisbane Airport Corporation are building a huge new parking station and to cover one side they want a big piece of art. Really big. But the two football field's size isn't the only stretch - because the artist commissioned is famous for the riskiest artistic medium of all - kinetic art: art that moves. Clients rarely ask more from a piece of art than the Macquarie Group: having spent hundreds of millions in a stunning restoration of a Sydney beaux arts building, the corporation wants to fill the last remaining space - a clunky, inaccessible ten storey light well - with an artwork that will not only look ravishing, it will drive entrepreneurial creativity among their staff.
