Sustainable artwork graces The Met

The environmental benefits of LEDs have been widely discussed in SignLink, however, their use in creative projects also show how aesthetically impressive they can be.

Artist Liz West was commissioned for the art installation at The Met Theatre, which was revealed after the building’s refurbishment in December 2016. The installation, Sevenfold, is a vibrant site-response piece that uses Xootube by LED Linear.

“The concept for Sevenfold, my first ever permanent installation work at The Met in Bury, relied on finding an elegant, minimal, functional yet durable lighting solution,” says West.

I am using seemingly regular lamps to make permanent, sustainable, hopefully memorable and experiential art installations for the public to enjoy for years to come


She continues: “For my work, I am using seemingly regular lamps to make permanent, sustainable, hopefully memorable and experiential art installations for the public to enjoy for years to come.

"By working with LED Linear I am guaranteed that my vision and need for quality is achieved.”

David Agnew, artistic director of The Met, adds: “We wanted to celebrate the light and sense of rejuvenation that the restoration of this stunning building has opened up and embraced.”
