From the description by Yellowwoods Art:
Coming to the City (2011) is a 3m x 18m mosaic artwork designed by South African artist, curator and designer Clive van den Berg and created by a team of mosaic artists from the Spier Arts Academy under direction of Yellowwoods Art – a specialist team that administers a sponsored three-year employment-based training programme in professional mosaic as well as producing large-scale artworks in other media.
This site-specific piece is located at Nando’s Kings Cross, London, and was created in sections through a combination of direct mosaic and custom-made ceramic elements. Coming to the City was shipped to the UK and re-built panel-by-panel by a team of the world’s leading mosaic experts.
The video above shows the process and interviews with the collaborators on the project. The video was produced by Groundglass.
