Dezeen's top 10 installations of 2019
Next up in our review of 2019, Kristine Klein picks out the 10 most arresting installations on Dezeen, including Banky's pop-up, pink seesaws slotted between the border wall and a sauna at Burning Man.
Gross Domestic Product, UK, by Banksy
British graffiti artist Banksy opened up a "for display purposes only" pop-up shop in East Croydon to showcase his merchandise, which is for sale online. The retail space was created in response to actions by a greeting card company trying to "seize legal custody" of his name.
The installation in Croydon consists of a series of window displays that contain several works of art created by Banksy, including the stab vest worn by rapper Stormzy for a concert this summer. Many of the retail products were made exclusively for the online shop and include t-shirts and mugs adorned with the artist's famous works. Find out more about Gross Domestic Product ?
The Starry Night, The Netherlands, Ivana Jeli? and Pavle Petrovi?
To highlight the issue of light pollution in urban areas, Serbian artists Ivana Jeli? and Pavle Petrovi? installed a series of LED lights that together form Van Gogh's Starry Night over a canal in Amsterdam.
Using 1,400 acrylic rods illuminated by small LED lights the designers were able to imitate the artist's brushstrokes and recreate the painting's swirling night sky pattern.
